"A more accurate statistic would be Protestant Christian pastors who support evolution, but not ID or Creationi.sm."

You are creating a false dichotomy by limiting the definition of Christian to those that do not accept evolution. The acceptance of Evolution is not restricted to atheists (or at least to non-Christians).

You can't put forward a convincing argument by redefining terms.

Some churches have no problem with evolution, others do. It's a religious, not a scientific issue.
The "Clergy Letter Project". 10,000 clergymen endorse evolution.
Statements from Religious Organizations. In favor of evolution.

If you had read the initial statement, it was making the assumption that they were Christian communities.

You can call yourself "Christian" because you have a family that may have attended a Church once, as many people do, but this does not imply those statistics are Christian.

It was his way of twisting my argument to suit his, and my fault for not making clear to someone who doesn't see the statistic from a Christian perspective.
