When anything and everything can be called *religious*, religion will have no meaning. How postmodernist of you.

The dictionary defines religion and among the definitions is this :

4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

The way the cause of Natural Selection plus Random mutation actually producing life is being actively pursued with such zeal and devotion, I would say it fits THIS definition.

"The dictionary defines religion and among the definitions is this :"

That's the fourth definition. You had to go to that to get a loose, mamby-pamby definition that makes anything someone pursues with more than halfhearted interest as a religion.

"The way the cause of Natural Selection plus Random mutation actually producing life is being actively pursued with such zeal and devotion, I would say it fits THIS definition."

Of course you would. You like meaningless postmodernist definitions.

Oh, missed that before. Nobody says that is how life formed.
