For people who come from very religious areas, do the schools teach evolution?

My school did, for about a day. Maybe half a day. I got my entire education in evolutionary biology by haunting the popular science section of the library.

Like Jessie, I don’t recall meeting any atheists in my hometown. One of my boyfriends was agnostic, which I found utterly shocking. (And then I came to MIT and deconverted myself… but I’m not too noisy about that around my hometown.)
