I am sometimes so glad to live a country where religion takes a back seat to education.  Here in Japan religion is barely part of consciousness and has little to no say in school content.  Not that things are perfect here... the government must "approve" text books before they can be used in class and sometimes this approval comes in form of historical sanitization of the facts to put it mildly... but at least it is not done out of faith... social engineering yes... and "false" self image preservation yes... and these are bad too... lets face facts... by the way I appreciate the comment about teleology and evolution... evolution is a pragmatic sideways affair... there is no up or down...  no goal other than replication... what replicates lives... what doesnt well... doesnt...
