Obviously, science is being de facto treated as a religion.

I continue to wonder what is so loathsome about religion that when creationists call evolution a religion they mean it as an insult.

I guess because many Christians do not regard their beliefs to be a religion. You must have heard "Christianity is not a religion, it's a personal relationship with Jesus" speech before. :-)

We don't consider religion loathsome. What we consider loathsome is that evolutionists don't recognize their belief as a religion, but try to wrap their belief in the unassailable light of "science." Their dogmatism is actually an insult to science.

It's also a wonderment how they try to say they aren't saying science is a religion when they say evolution is a religion, when much of evidence for evolution comes from physics, genetics, geology, etc. I guess they think know better what is and is not science than the 99+% of scientists who consider evolution science.
