how did religion affect education in the united states during the early 1920s?
churches formed a coalition to promote the separation of church and state.
some states passed laws to favor biblical ideas of human origins over evolution.
some religious groups formed voting blocks to manipulate local school boards.
state governments began to exclusively fund private schools founded by churches.

Explanation:

During the early 1920s in the US, there was a significant conflict between religious - based beliefs (such as those from the Bible) and the scientific theory of evolution. Some states passed laws that favored the biblical account of human origins over the theory of evolution. For example, the Butler Act in Tennessee (1925) prohibited the teaching of evolution in public schools. Churches were not promoting the separation of church and state at this time as they were involved in influencing educational content. There is no evidence of large - scale manipulation of local school boards through voting blocks by religious groups in a coordinated way as described in option C. State governments did not exclusively fund private church - founded schools; public education was still a major part of the educational system.

Answer:

Some states passed laws to favor biblical ideas of human origins over evolution.
