It very strongly correlates to physical location in the country. Most of the time, no, but biology classes in much of the South have become de facto religious classes in the past ten to fifteen years. In fact, the public school system in the southern fourth of the country is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from parochial schools, save the emphasis tends to be on evangelical Protestantism.

I went to high school in the South, with in the last 10-15 years, we learned about evolution.
We did not learn about god.
Don't be a jerk, dude. You can't pray or have a bible study group in any public school in the U.S. and that is flat out not fair. I would hope you could have a fair and friendly discussion of the issue unlike most internet gadflies who live to troll.
So did I. And my 'education' in the public school was a lot more like this:

Well maybe that was your experience, but I can't remember a single time in Biology or any other science class where we discussed religion or god.
Other than to say, "your religious beliefs are not being discussed here."
I think the mass characterization you made, was wrong.
Exactly. They want to limit our bible study groups to our homes or our churches. How unfair is that?
If it's not in every public school in the South, then it's in a large number of public schools in the South - entirely too many of them.
That the influence of Catholicism in America ought to be curtailed. (Consider that the first push to remove religion from the school system came, not from liberal Democratic radicals, but conservative Republicans in the 1920s in the Midwest to fight Catholicism.)

Believe me, I understand that northeastern establishment Christians and born again evangelicals consider Catholicism to be apostasy (odd considering that the Catholic church was THE Christian church until all those other Protestant divisions started making up new rules, but I digress). But the Blaine Amendment appears more to be a blow against the Irish rather than Catholicism.
I'm sorry if you hold on to the totally antiquated notion that the Papists will follow the Pope's marching orders rather than the Presidents when it comes to state law, but that gives you no right to be a bigot or pass selective laws against us.
Catholics are happy to be bigoted against homosexuals and atheists; I'm happy to be bigoted against Catholics.
Thank you for speaking for yourself; I'll thank you in advance for not speaking for Catholics in the future, since you are hardly a neutral observer.
Heaven has room for everyone, except those that hate their fellowman.
That's the kind of bizarre conception of playing a tune I've come to expect around here. Brainwashing?
The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision
