Anagolously one could argue: "People believe in Christianity for a variety of reasons. As we will see later, one reason is so they can reject scientific inquiry."
All (recent, and certaily on FR) objections to evolutionary theory have come from a small, essentially homogenous group with similar religious views. As the objections to science are religion-based, it is difficult to discuss things without religion being injected in the first couple of sentences (as in the posted article.)
