Atheists are afraid of education.

The state of Louisiana passed a law allowing public schools to critically examine controversial issues like evolution, human cloning and other issues which are currently only presented from a narrow humanistic perspective. The bill states "to create and foster an environment within public elementary and secondary schools that promotes critical thinking skills, logical analysis, and open objective discussion of scientific theories being studied" It also clarifies in the bill that religious ideas are not to be promoted, and discrimination must be carefully guarded. The atheists tried to block this bill and the ACLU is looking into legal action to over turn a nearly unanimous vote of the elected officials. Why are they so against critical thinking and logic? It is clear they know that facts and evidence are not on their side and when students (even 1st graders) logically look at the evidence they will reject humanism. Truth is hard to argue with.
