In the near future, I see the _best way_ to improve education is
  to be inclusive rather than exclusive. At present, there's an
  "us vs them" attitude. People make fun of the religious. Well,
  that's not gonna win them over. "haha you're stupid with your
  sky god" talk. Meh. Not diplomatic. But if you offer a viable
  ALTERNATIVE, you can do the world a favor. Also: by not going
  ANY further back than the supernova that created the actual
  elements in your fingers and your eyeballs and the computer in
  front of you and the air you breath... you leave the
  God-question COMPLETELY free and open.
