I generally agree with a lot (almost all, even) of what you said, Sier. I think it is worth making a distinction regarding this, however:

That is that I think it is worth separating 'believing in a higher power' from teaching Creationism in schools (if that actually happens in the states? I have no idea).

If it does - teaching one specific religion's creation story as fact(?) would be problematic. Individual beliefs should not be a problem, but the state has a responsibility toward secularism, especially in education.
