This auhor is so right! If you don't believe evolution is a religion, just try attacking it in the presence of one of its believers!
It is neither observable nor repeatable, and that lets it out of the "science" category.
Its purpose is to disassociate people from their Creator, so as to get them into hell, but not before they spread the big lie around first.
Is that supposed to be a logical statement?
Are you assuming that religion is the only thing people can be passionate about?
