Could you get a little more specific (using links and examples) about what you mean about Darwin being a religious man?

I always thought Darwin a rather simple-minded, spiteful soul who was angry at God for the death of his daughter and set out to point as many people away from God as he could.

Sure. Charles Darwin was educated in religious schools and was very active in his parish throughout much of his life. Later in life he became hostile to organized religion and those who claimed religious authority directly in response to the stinging accusations and criticisms he received for suggesting a theory to explain scientific observation. I am sure you have extensive literature on Charles Darwin, but the public entity created by his theory and the private man were two completely different creatures.
