No, ID is an alternative to blind chance. It simply says that materialism does not explain everything. Some of the ID theorists even go so far as to posit the "designer" as space aliens, hardly a religious understanding. (But even that far-fetched idea begs the larger question of how the aliens came to be designed.) It is a philosophical/logical question, not a religious one.

If you believe that evolution is "blind chance", then you don't know what evolution is.
