What are they teaching children in school these days?

Newsweek finds 97 percent of people believe in a diety, and 80% are Christians. So they make most of their poll about how stupid Christians believe in the bible's story instead of evolution.
The problem? Confusing scientism/Darwin's religious philosophy of atheism, with science/evolution as science. More HERE

One thing I am able to do with my leisure life is listen to lectures on philosophy...the idea of the just man living a life of goodness in a family and the idea of the golden mean is Plato, but I was startled to hear a teacher of the Upahishads essentially say the same thing.

Somehow, with all the talk about religion and the latest "Wealth is good" fad at Oprah, we miss this idea.
