So then it is censored? Right? If the truth is denied in place of mythology is that not censorship? How then is biology taught, because "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution", this quote is from a theist and even a theistic view of evolution is better than out right denial of fact.

Religious dogma is the correct term for any holy book or doctrine taught as absolute fact.
Dogma is defined as "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.[1] It serves as part of the primary basis of an ideology or belief system, and it cannot be changed or discarded without affecting the very system's paradigm, or the ideology itself. The term can refer to acceptable opinions of philosophers or philosophical schools, public decrees, religion, or issued decisions of political authorities."
Nothing offensive unless the subscriber is threatened by people questioning said dogma. In which case they have started to question the absolute "truth" in that dogma, be it consciously or unconsciously.

Is education censored like it is in some places in the US? Is god taught in schools as fact or myth, or somewhere in between? Is evolution and the actual age of the earth (4.5 billionish) given precedence over religious dogma?
