I also find it very sad and ominous that we are driving God further out of our lives and national psyche every year but in this case I think they have picked the wrong battle to make a stand on.
through my entire life i have witnessed the exact opposite occuring. this seems to be a common refrain, like the one about "liberal media" and "tax and spend democrats" which was born in the 60's or 70's and has taken on a life of its own.
anyway, no offense intended to your faith or your noble intentions; but my experience is just the opposite. isn't there a statistic out there showing that, among the educated nations, the u.s. is at the bottom in terms of the number that believe in evolution?
