Creationist efitorial screed in Gazette is shameful

5. I've no problem w/ comparatice religion classes - just keep it out of sciences

The problem is that many, even most, of the texts & materials dealing w/ the subject tend to be written by RW evanfelicals, therefore biased. Learning about the numerous religions would be beneficial, but how many to include? Would Native Americans be left out? Wicca? Showing the conflicts caused by religious differences would also be good. But, again, it might be difficult to find an instructor who could maintain objectivity. The obvious unbiased choice, an atheist, would be rejected - they're the most hated minority on the planet. It would be irrelevant to those who revile atheists that not believing would mean the most balanced view of conparing religions.

But, again, religion has no place in any science class. Mr Priest, Discovery Inst, et al can call their ideas 'creation science' all they want, but it doesn't alter the wholly religious basis of their claims.
