Should atheism and evolution be taught in churches?

Question

Creationists often say things like; evolution is a religion,atheism is a religion, both creationism and evolution are different points of view of the same evidence therefore they should both be taught in science class and let the students decide, alternate explanations should be taught alongside evolution because it is only fair, things like that.

If evolution and atheism are religions (which they aren't) then they should be taught in their churches alongside creationism. If creationism is science (which it isn't) then alternate points of view such as atheism and evolution (as written in the textbooks) should be taught alongside creationism at places like Creation Ministries International and they should let their congregation decide which is true because, after all it would only be fair. And while they are at it the Greek mythology should be taught along side the Bible in Sunday school.

I am content to allow the churches to decide what they want to teach or preach. I just object to religion being taught as science in the schools.

Young Earth creationism is an orchestrated litany of lies, designed to separate members of some churches from a few dollars every month.  It mainly operates in the USA, but has some representation in other countries.  The parasites on religion running this scam will say anything to keep it going.

I would be happy if students exited school being able to read, write, balance a check book and learn about investing in their future. The rest they can learn or not learn makes no difference

Latest evidence seems to lend that we were seeded here and so biblical creation is not the answer nor is evolution as was once thought

If creationists were sincere about their claim that they want students to learn all points of view and then decide, they would be teaching real science in their churches.  They aren't, so clearly it's just an insincere excuse to force their religious teachings on students who don't go to their churches.

I took this photo of a book on human evolution, that was for sale in a local Anglican church.  How cool is that?  I would have bought it, but it was out of date.
