Our secular, school-taught dogma are to “believe in evolution” and to reject racism. Racism was once considered a natural extension of evolution.

This makes no sense. In the United States, the region which put up the most resistance to the teaching of evolution - the South - was also the most racist. The dominant church there among whites, the Southern Baptist Converntion, was born of racism, and was and continues to be anti-evolution. American racists sometimes used evolution as a rationalisation for their racism, true, but before evolution was formulated, they used Christianity. This indicates there was no real foundation for racism in either evolution or Christianity, but both can be butchered to justify racism.

Well said. The predisposed pollute whatever group they decide to join.
