Interesting. I had a liberal, Catholic school education,
and I had to take religion-theology classes every day.

Yet, science classes and all kinds of theories were never
a problem.

Of course, we Catholics have had some great humanists and
other great theologians like Teilhard de Chardin, along with
Vatican II, with more of a focus on the inner,
contemplative life and the Christ within, with a real sense
of compassion and love in both worlds, the monastic and the
secular.

Basically, as Joanne points out, it's a matter of keeping
religion in the Sunday schools or religion classes and science
in the science classes.
