If you're speaking strictly in the sense of what should or shouldn't be taught in a public classroom I'm in agreement with you, but as it's been said before atheism requires as much if not more faith than believing in a "higher power".
Well, I agree with sleepy jack and think his post was very well written with some solid points. I think he's mainly targetting the religious people who actively oppose the teaching of evolution in societies. These are usually not people who are able to reconciliate religious faith and science.

edit :

Why would atheism require more faith?
