This statement is plainly wrong. The ID movement seeks to save society by making "God did it" once again a respectable hypothesis in scientific theories.
#4. Materialism, Naturalism, Darwinism, all these isms, what do they have to do with me and my life?
Materialism (or naturalism) is significant because it tends to set the boundaries for what is right and wrong in contemporary society. It defines the "rules" that govern much public discourse. It dictates the terms of elite debate, so that even those who are not materialists have to presuppose it in the public square. It goes to the intellectual roots of contemporary society, even though it contradicts the stated justifications of most public institutions. In particular, materialism makes nonsense of the claim that the state must respect the "inalienable rights" of individuals "endowed by their Creator," even though many materialists appeal to such notions for rhetorical effect.
If materialists are right, then we created "God" rather than the other way around. A character of Doestoyevsky's once said: "If God is dead, then all things are lawful." At the very least, if materialism is correct, then there is no transcendent right or good apart from the material world. However, while materialists generally define matter or the material world as the fundamental reality, they often tolerate "spiritualities" compatible with the materialist axiom. A culture that is thoroughly materialistic can still foster a worship of the state, the individual, or nature itself. Inevitably, whatever happens to be the case defines what ought to be. So, in an authoritarian setting compromised to materialism, elite rulers can dictate what is right and true with impunity. In a democratic setting, majority sentiment, shaped by elite opinion, is the ultimate arbiter. In either case, where materialism holds sway, might makes right.
FAQ #4, Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture
The CRSC (Discovery Institute's ID arm) has gotten much more subtle in its statements lately, but they used to be much more forthright in their support for creationism and an explicitly supernatural creator:
... This rigid scientific materialism infected all other areas of human knowledge, laying the foundations for much of modern psychology, sociology, economics, and political science. Yet today new developments in biology, physiscs, and artificial intelligence are raising serious doubts about scientific materialism and re-opening the case for the supernatural. ......but ultimately they just can't deny it without losing their movement's whole purpose for being. As they see it, the only way they can save society from nihilism is to get people in academia & other opinion leaders to believe again in a grand, supernatural authority figure who can, deus-ex-machina like, come down & "lay down the law", without having to explain or justify His decisions to us.
Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture, ca. 5/1997
After all, if an authority figure has to explain himself, then that implies we are able to critique his actions, and that opens up a whole can-o-worms, what with our messy, differing opinions & all. It's anarchy I tells ya, ANARCHY!!! One suddenly starts to understand how scared the Catholic Church must've felt when all those Protestant splinter groups started forming, each one pushing their own interpretation of the Bible.
