But then, very few Canadians have the faintest interest in having creationism taught in schools or in having evolution based biology not taught in schools. There's no broad ideological battlefront here. |

All fiction causes curiosity -- people such as myself make good careers exploring it. |

You see, you're starting off on a wrong premise here -- it's not christian theology that people want out -- just the ignoramuses who think it's science. while simultaneously spending hours on the Internet asking question after question?
What would you think if I wanted Evolution Doctrine out of the schools (which I do), yet spent hours online asking question after question?
I'd be proud of you -- asking such questions would mean you no longer see ignorance as a heavenly virtue. |

Oh, I would have to most strenuously disagree.
If a school taught Christian Theology during 3rd period, I'm sure people would be up in arms.
I think what you're alluding to is teaching Christian Theology under the aegis of Mythology 101.

If they taught any religion as true, we'd be up in arms. So would you...

Of course you would. Attitudes like that are what cause the worst wars in the world, though.

LOL! Good one 
Seriously, though. Thinking that your religion is the only true religion, and forcing it upon others, is only going to give rise to conflict. You cannot deny that. Shall I list a bunch of religious wars to prove it for you?
