Even with in respect to the question of children being taught "atheistic creationism" implicitly you have been proven wrong. Please explain how Christian schools which openly acknowledge God as the creator are teaching atheistic creationism. You've dodged this question many times now.
No, I haven't been proven wrong. Christian schools do not teach that humanity is the result of only, solely, naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago. That's an inherently atheistic creationist viewpoint contrary to the bible.
And yet we have first-hand testimony that Christian schools are teaching the same mechanisms of evolution as secular schools. Therefore if the Christians aren't teaching atheistic creationism, neither are the secular schools.
We do not have first hand testimony that Christian schools are teaching that humanity is the creation of only, completely, totally, solely naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago.
We have people here who say their lessons on evolution in Christian schools were the same as those in secular schools. If the content of the lessons is the same, how do you know that the latter are teaching atheistic creationism?
Christian schools attribute the creation of humanity to God in some form or fashion while atheistic creationism taught in public schools teach that humanity is created solely by naturalistic forces.
The atheistic creationism taught in the public schools is what's going to be challenged in the courts.
Christian schools attribute creation to God only in religion classes, not in science classes. So how could the Christian schools teaching evolution properly but secular schools be teaching atheistic creationism if the content of the science classes is the same?

We'll said....as a teacher, I am familiar with the curricula taught in both our state and religious systems here in Australia. The syllabus in biology is identical for both...
As you point out, the involvement of a god in the evolutionary process is dealt with separately in Religious Education classes....
If you think that Christian schools teach that humanity is the creation of only, solely, completely naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago, continue to believe that.
Christian schools teach a theistic creation, not an atheistic creation. Go figure.
You didn't answer the question, as usual. Again, how could the Christian schools be teaching evolution properly but secular schools be teaching atheistic creationism if the content of the science classes is the same?
Again, and we'll do this as long as you like, Christian schools do not teach that humanity is the creation of only, solely, completely natural mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago. Your claim is in error. Like the leading and misleading questions in your poll.

Can´t say anything about America, but over here Comparative Religion is a regular class in public schools. So the atheistic position is taught neither explicitly nor implicitly.Again, you've merely reiterated rather than support your premise. Do understand how debate works?
Probably not. Quatona mentioned both theological classes and Catholic classes. The former would likely be taught much the same in public schools whereas the latter would not be taught at all, i suspect. But if you wish to claim that Christian schools are teaching pure evolution whereas secular schools are teaching atheistic creationism, that means the only difference is in the official beliefs of the institutions (remember, we many teachers in secular schools are Christians), not the actual material that's being presented. In other words, both types of school are teaching the same thing from which either metaphysical leap can be made.
...and neither do public schools.Again, and we'll do this as long as you like, Christian schools do not teach that humanity is the creation of only, solely, completely natural mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago.
No schools teach that, so...
So if they aren't teaching that, and their science lessons are the same as the secular schools, the secular schools must not be teaching it wither. Unless you can actually articulate why the same lessons contain different metaphysical messages.
To support my position I have the testimony of students and teachers alike who had experience in both Christian and secular schools. They say evolution is being taught the same way. Yet you insist that they are teaching it differently. Are you able to support this instead of simply asserting it ad nauseum?
Again, and we'll do this as long as you like, Christian schools do not teach that humanity is the creation of only, solely, completely natural mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago. Your claim is in error. Like the leading and misleading questions in your poll.

For Creationism to be taught in science classes it would have to come up with a scientific theory, in the first place.
This isn´t taught in school, no matter how often you repeat this claim.What do they teach created humanity as a species other than it being created entirely, solely, completely by naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago?
Alternate to which theory? Your strawman theory (which isn´t actually taught), or evolution theory (which is being taught)?I'd be interested in hearing what alternate theory you were taught in school.
