I'm an atheist, anti-theist, apatheist, ignostic, and subscribe to the philosophical idea of naturalism.
I'm with Pyrrho on this one. Teachers don't teach evolution in public schools, because it contradicts with the main religion of this stupid, superstitious country. This stupid country meaning: most people in it, can't think for themselves, and don't care to listen and learn from the smart people. They'd rather get their "facts" from their pastor, instead of scientists. They'd rather blindly follow a book (from which they get their morality) that actually portrays god as a mass-murderer, and scoff at people that don't subscribe to such a heinous book, and mock them for "believing" that humans did not walk side by side with dinosaurs. Is there an intelligent religion (oxymoron) out there, that says, "We don't have all the answers, but maybe leave that up to the people that studied how to conduct scientific experiments their whole life, listen to them, and construct your own beliefs based on that, personal experience, with healthy amount of skepticism." No, what we have is...Here is our bullshit, believe it or go to hell. Don't question it, or go to hell. Fuck that!

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
