Such statistics are pretty much useless in determining how 'religious'
individuals really are. Very few people will list atheist but very many
people who would list a religious affiliation either don't really believe
in god or fundamentally ignore the teachings of 'their' religion. So I'm
not sure that you can draw anything meaningful from the below.

Richard is here offering an opinion. Sadly, we have read far to many
opinions on this important issue.
Can I instead ask that we engage the usual scientific attitude, which
details experimental protocol shortfalls? It is unhelpful that
I happen to agree with Richard on this one. We all have opinions.
But I expect science teachers to be swayed by scientific criticism
and not by opinion.
