"You have a board in Kansas that is so extreme," said John West, 
senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, adding that evolution 
supporters were "anti-religious."
===============

Does this represent a change in tactics for the Discovery Institute? 

I thought they claimed to be secular, and that they objected to evolution purely on scientific - not religious - grounds, and that they made no claims that the "intelligent designer" was God. Or at least, that was their public façade (proven false by the infamous "wedge document"), and that they were using it to sidestep the unsuccessful m.o. of trying to teach religious dogma as scientific fact.

Have they given up that ghost and now admitted that Intelligent Design is a religious idea?
