Why Is Evolution Taught As Fact

Hello everone. I just got off a very good discussion of evolution VS creation.

I would like to pose a different question.

If evolution is still a theory and has not yet met the requirements of scientific proof, then why is it being taught in schools as fact.

my personal thoughts are that those apposed to Christianity latch on to evolution as a way to say " There is no God". It is my opinion that evolution has become it's own religion and will not tolerate any other. That is why Christianity has been booted out of the schools and replaced with evolution (ie atheism) in an attempt to forcefully convert children from Christianity to atheism.

what are you thoughts. All view points are welcome.
