@Salacious B. Crumb [Sorry it wasn't letting me quote you for some reason]
Thank you for the long, well thought out response, I really appreciate it. My Biology class is actually looking hopeful this year though, the first day when I walked in I noticed a poster on the wall that had a picture of Charles Darwin and said "Charles Darwin, the Genius", and the teacher actually seems rather progressive on her thinking as she said that she attended some experimental research on the evolution of "bugs"(Not sure exactly what she said). She also was(in a very reserved manner) at least I think, trying to teach us about how a certain bug developed a horn in order to fight off predators.
Also, I am very thankful that my parents are very very accepting of me. When I was only about 12 or so, they told me that they did not care if I was straight, or gay, whether I was Christian, or Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, even Atheist. I am also proud to say I already openly told my mother I was Atheist, she even let me express why I am atheist and didn't say anything afterward.
I know this is not the case for a majority of younger Atheists, or practically anyone with a belief that goes against the 'Status-Quo', so I do appreciate this fact greatly. I moved to the Christian school because I wanted to(this was back when I was still a theist), but I am telling you this because I am also glad my parents did not "Force" me to go there or anything. Overall, I am just appreciative of the fact that I am allowed to believe what I want, that I can live my own life and not my Parents.
