The horrors of the 20th. Century have not been from evolution or religion. The horror was brought on by the morphing of a bogus system of economics, socialism into the state religions of Nazism and Communism.

Wrong, absolutely wrong. Evolution laid the philosophical foundations for both Nazism and Communism. It made scientific materialism respectable. It is the followers of Darwin who using his excuse of 'lower races', eugenics, and 'helping' natural selection, that killed more than 100 million totally innocent people.

This is a flat out lie on its face. The concept of 'lower races' had existed since time immemorial and justified such things as slavery. It did not require Darwinism. The concepts of 'eugenics' & 'natural selection' had existed since time immemorial and justified anything from infanticide to concepts of miscegenation. They did not require Darwinism. Most of humanity had been intuitive enough to figure such things out even before Darwin put them into scientific application and Mendel established their rudimentary operation. Of course, history has also been replete with those ignorants who cannot accept the obvious even when it's slapping them upside the head.
