In my classroom when we talk about geology or evolution I often get students who tell me that they/their parents don't believe in things like an old earth or common descent. My response is always that yes, some people do believe that but the evidence we have supports an old earth and evolution, and in science we explain things using evidence.
Call me crazy but I don't see how this "bans" or "contradicts" religion. No one is saying that students cannot hold religious beliefs or even express those beliefs in the classroom - all that is said is that the evidence supports a different view.
