    The way religion and creationism were taught here in the UK when I was in school is exactly why I consider myself to be an Athiest/Sith now.

    Basically, storytime would usually involve a story from the bible, which to be honest I didn't enjoy much. I understand there are christian people here, so I am going to be careful not to offend anyone but I didn't believe in the stories we were being told as fact.

    We never covered evolution either, I became aware of it from watching documentaries about wildlife and natural history.

    Maybe it was just my school, but it was a public school so...

    i originally went to a catholic choir school between the ages of 6 and 10. those years did more to convince me that religion is a load of old cobblers than the most convincing argument ever could have.

    after i left that school i went to state school in aberdeenshire, where the only religious content came on rememberance day and at christmas and easter, and apart from rememberance day i refused to go to any of those assemblies. got in a bit of trouble for it, but i sure wasnt about to betray my beliefs by going along to them.

    certainly i can count on 1 hand the number of people who are religious, and im not aware of any of them being anti-evolution.

    Remember that Vatican doesn't accept teaching ID as science.

    It's a bit funny. A majority of religious, private schools in the US are Catholic, so while fundimentalist are attempting to pull the teaching of evolution out of public schools, a majority of the religous schools teach about evolution freely.
