We need to continue to expose that atheism is as much a religion of faith as Christianity. But then there are many who are secular and don't call themselves atheists but yet think they believe in Darwinian evolution.
People time and time again, scoff and make fun of faith-based religions (particularly Christianity); But yet they go on thinking that they've been given the PROOF of Darwinian evolution to explain life on earth but they haven't. All the average person knows about the theory of evolution are the few high school text book examples with charts and diagrams of a monkey transforming into a man as well as studies done in the Galapagos Islands, from old Carl Sagan programs, etc.
And if they want to further hammer down what they think they believe, they'll go to their neighborhood science museum only to find short videos narrated by people with British accents, and a few creative stuffed maniccans, etc. But zero real evidence.
But continuing the campaign of teaching people that secularism is in itself a religion could ease some tension on the growing secular abuse in the schools against creationism by educating people. Secularists are now targeting private schools that'll teach creationism to their kids and soon, they'll barge into people's homes and confiscate their books and Bibles just like that one family from Germany who had to flee to the states because they wanted to home-school their kids.
As long as we continue to have militant Christian haters saying that it's child abuse to teach your kids about God, these things will continue getting worst. Unfortunately, the govt. has a growing track record of siding with these secular groups every time they want to say the separation of church and state has been violated.
The Obama Administration has even placed a militant Christian-hater, Mike Weinstein as an advisor for "religious freedom". That's like leaving a wolf to supervise the sheep while the shepherd is on a lunch break.
One can't prove God doesn't exist and one can't prove evolution then how is it NOT a religion? It's faith-based just like the belief in God.
Without proof, they claim there is no God and w/out proof they claim the world created itself, etc. That takes a whole lot of faith to believe, especially when you can't even say "God did it"! At least Christians base their faith in the Biblical principle that Jesus taught when he said to His disciples, "Happy are those who can't see what you see but yet still believe"., and "We live by faith, not by sight" - 2 Corinthians 5:7.
But what's the excuse of the secularist? On what foundation have they concluded that NO evidence is the foundation of their belief system if after all, there's no proof or even a good argument to support Darwinian evolution.

The Christian position on school curriculum has never been to omit the VARIOUS views in the sciences, religions, etc. But there indeed exists a hostility to even mention anything remotely associated with God. Why so much fear, hate and hostility? There's a reason for that also.
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen." - Romans 1: 18-21
