Is evolution a religion? To tell the truth I had never heard of this comparison until a couple of weeks ago. A post on my zero tolerance site about Kathy Cox removing the word evolution from the Georgia school curriculum devolved into a debate over whether the Theory of Evolution itself is a religion.
The impetus for defining evolution as a religion is that it opens up two lines of attack from creationists. One fist could argue for evolution's removal from school curriculums based on separation of church and state. The other fist could argue for inclusion of creationism in curriculums as the religion of evolution would have set a precedent for religious teaching in public schools.
What do all y'all think?
