Can we create a make-creationists-shut-up-about-ID fund?

ID is clearly not a form of science, as it is pretty much 90% religion mixed with a bad sense of science.

However, they do not understand that it is unlawful to teach religion in public schools (which in no way say's that religion is banned in schools), and insist on trying to push their Creationist ideas on us, and tell us WE'RE the ones violating THEIR rights ("us" being non-Creationists). I propose that we do a little fund-raising to start up a self-sufficient fund that will help create a series of FREE private school in which ID can be taught. If they continue to persist, that will only mean that they want America to be a Christian country in every way, going against what it was founded on. I would start this all up myself, but I am 14, and have no experience in organizing fundraisers (usually, I just donate stuff). It could help if a reference to somebody who can help me set this up (legally and just to make sure enough people who support the idea hear about it and donate) was posted, but since I personally don't have the influence or time to do this, I just hope somebody who reads this that does can get an idea.

By the way, if any of you Creationists are offended by any of this, then I'm sorry, and I probably deserve a little heat for mocking your views. However, I am trying to create this system so you can keep believing what you believe, press your views on your kids, AND leave the evolutionists alone, because as that Locke guy or Hobbes or whatever guy said, "I could not disagree more with what you are saying, but I would die defending your right to say it" or something along those lines.

    Right on man!

    At 14 and your head is so screwed on right!

    Yes ID is not science it is a farce,it is just theists trying to lend credibility to their junk by attempting to borrow the scientific method which shoots themselves in the foot by showing they acknowledge its power to tell the truth.

    ID is living proof that theists have HAD to back down from saying "I have my faith and that is all I need" - clearly they are on shaky ground if they are attempting to fight fire with fire.

    As for a fund - I can see your point - I defend the right of free speech - odd that so many theists don't and ask on here "What are atheists bugging theists in R& S for?" - I can go where I please and do what I want and say what I want (with TOS in mind).

    If I was a millionaire I might consider exactly what you said so they cannot railroad ignorance into people's education - but for me I'd rather eradicate them altogether as the ignorant shmucks that they are. God does not exist - and there is little point trying to live and let live when theists have no intention of doing anything of the sort.

    This is a war - and the only function of having them keep their own beliefs is to watch them slowly make fools of themselves as they slowly realise they are in the "flat earth" camp.

    I do not defend the right to be a wanton ignoramus - that is what schools are for - and they should not be teaching "God" - because he is provable folly.

    Great question though.

    There are already organizations working in opposition to ID.

    You can start with the one I linked below.
