Especially when religion interferes in the teaching of science.

I don't hate religion.I have a RE O-level. I respect religion,I respect the Christian Church and Christians.I have never been one for Christian or religion bashing.
Music,art,literature,medicine all owe so much to the Christian church.
However when religion is dragged into how we teach science and dogma takes over in education then I will say that it's time for religion to leave the school grounds and head for the church grounds and into the homes of those who wish to raise their children in whatever religion of their choice.I'm not saying parents shouldn't bring their children up in their own faith.Just that religion isn't the state's business. Education is too important to be held hostage by any one faith.
