Ian,
Perhaps you should come live here for a while to see what it's really like. Most of the hype is media based, and the science squabbles are led by the Darwinists. If they were not so dogmatic and would lay off those who ask questions, there would be no need for the Discovery Institute in the first place.
My kids get absolutely NO RELIGION WHATSOEVER at their schools...none, except in history class if they're discussing social norms, etc. of various nations.
They do say the pledge, so every day the only thing that is remotely related to "God" are the words "under God". THAT IS IT. How on earth is that worse for an atheist that what you had to endure throughout your school years????!!!! You make no sense to me.
My kids can't even have "Christmas" programs. They're now called "Winter programs". The last few years they avoided having programs around Christmas altogether so that there was no issue with the religious aspect of the holidays. My youngest had his a few weeks after Christmas, and his chorus teacher is an atheist so they had a "save the earth" theme. How anyone can fear religion influence in America is seriously beyond me.
And, perhaps something you haven't considered is that it might just be the surge of atheist fury and insistence to knock God out of everything in society that has pushed Christians to show more concern over the years.
I'll say AGAIN, that after reading endless atheists sites, I think there is cause to worry. The hate being churned up at those sites is simply horrible.
