→Atheism commonly decry religion, yet atheism is a religion
For thousands of years, and particularly in the post Darwinism era, atheists have decried [[religion]]. Yet, [[atheism is a religion]]. Recently, some atheists have established "atheist churches" and are demanding atheist chaplains in the U.S. military.<ref>[http://www.watoday.com.au/national/you-gotta-have-faith-the-rise-of-the-church-of-nonbelievers-20130803-2r6q3.html Atheist church service in Austalia]</ref><ref>[http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/06/22/church-without-god-by-design/comment-page-131/ Atheist church service - CNN]</ref><ref>[http://www.christianpost.com/news/house-gop-vote-to-ban-atheists-from-serving-as-military-chaplains-100870/ Atheist chaplains]</ref>

== Darwinism is a religion ==
The Kitzmiller vs. Dover case which focused on the issue [[intelligent design]] being taught in public schools did not take into account arguments that evolution is religious in nature.<ref>http://creation.com/atheism-a-religion</ref><ref>http://www.intelligentdesignnetwork.org/Kitzmiller%27s_error_summary.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.intelligentdesignnetwork.org/Kitzmiller%27s_Error.pdf</ref>
[[File:Question-Evolution-Campaign.jpg|thumbnail|250px|right|The Question evolution! campaign by [[Creation Ministries International]] is a worldwide campaign which poses 15 questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer.<ref>http://creation.com/question-eviolution Question evolution! campaign] by [[Creation Ministries International]]</ref> The 15 questions posed to evolutionists can be found [http://creation.com/15-questions HERE] ]]
The atheist philosopher of science [[Michael Ruse]] said "Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today."<ref>Ruse, M., How evolution became a religion: creationists correct? National Post, pp. B1,B3,B7 May 13, 2000.</ref> In the their [[Question evolution! campaign]], [[Creation Ministries International]] asserts that evolution is a religion.<ref>[http://creation.com/15-questions 15 questions for evolutionists]</ref>
John Calvert, a lawyer and [[intelligent design]] proponent declared:
{{cquote|The Seventh Judicial Circuit of the Court of Appeals of the [[United States]] held that atheism is a [[religion]]. Therefore, it cannot be promoted by a public school. Currently, public schools are often unwittingly promoting atheism through a dogmatic and uncritical teaching of [[Evolution|materialistic theories of origins]].<ref>[http://shockawenow.blogspot.com/2011/08/intelligent-design-leader-john-calvert.html The effects of the Question Evolution! Campaign will be devastating to evolutionary belief and atheism]</ref>}}
