Bingo. The evos on FR will come on here and tell us we're all a bunch of slackjawed yokels for disbelieving their 19th Century mystery religion, but they should be forced to explain why it is that whenever they start losing the argument, they hire the ACLU to go out to sue someone to impose their views on the rest of us. They travel in suspicious circles.

I picked up this quote recently, and while it was not written in relation to Darwinism, I thought of Darwinists when I read it:

When social forces press for the rejection of age-old Truth, then those who reject it will seek meaning in their own truth. These truths will rarely be Truth at all; they will be only collections of personal preferences and prejudices. The less depth a belief system has, the greater the fervency with which its adherents embrace it. The most vociferous, the most fanatical are those whose cobbled faith is founded on the shakiest ground. (Dean Koontz, FOREVER ODD)

Another thought:

In his book Darwinism Defended, Michael Ruse writes that "Many contemporary Darwinists show a strong liberal commitment in their politics and sexual morality, whereas advocates of creation want to go back to a strict biblical morality." And he concludes the chapter by saying, "Darwinism has a great past. Let us work to see that it has an even greater future." Isn't that something very inappropriate to say of a scientific theory? Does one ever hear anyone say "gravity has had a great past, let's work together to see that it has a great future." It’s pretty clear that Darwinism is more then simply a scientific “theory,” but is a worldview, and philosophy, which can be and has been applied to a variety of other theories, particularly social theories, and has influenced people’s morality and political ideology. It’s interesting that Darwinism applied to social behavior fuels a leftist viewpoint on all that it’s applied to.

Would you be kind enough to provide links to the data indicating such a correlation?

There's also the correlation between people who are threatened by evolution and Islamic theocracies.
