Sadly this isn't a genetic issue, but a cultural one. You guys seriously need to figure out how to invest in proper, scientific, religion-free education.

Schools in the US are governed by boards elected by the public. Anti-science nutcases run for these positions and get their churches to back them. The only way to keep them out is to vote in all the down-ballot races, and remind your friends how important it is.
