What other choice is there? My take on it has always been this: religion is a tool to explain life and the world. A few thousand years ago, who was there to say that god himself didn't create the Earth, and the mountains, and the animals, and men, and food, and emotion, and everything? Who could have known at the time why disease and death happened, and why so much suffering happened? Back then, you had to believe it was god, because there was no other alternative.
Today though, we know why diseases happen. We know how the planet came to be, and where the mountains came from, and how the animals came to be (and a damn good guess as to how they got here as microbes) and a hundred other things that ancient man attributed to god. We know that the Earth is not a few thousand years old, such as the Bible says.
That doesn't mean that the Bible is wrong either, it just means that it was written by men who didn't know what we know today. God isn't under attack when evolution is taught in schools because the Bible was written by people and not by God. You have to either take the entire Bible at face value (which is to say, believe in magic) or take is as a series of metaphors and assumptions of an ancient people - and there's nothing wrong with the second option. Religion is an outdated tool of worldly explanation, there's no way around it. As a way to live your life, it's a fine device.
