If Darwinism is not a religion, why adopt religious symbols?
The other thing I find funny about the Darwinism religious symbol is: the fish usually symbolizes "being fishers of man's souls" or "saving souls" - does this Darwinism religious symbol mean "Darwinism devours one's soul"?
Clearly Darwinists are jealous of all the fun religion has with symbols and dogma.

What about "Darwinists" who are also theists?

Well......
Regarding this interjection, Martin Gardner writes:
"Darwin himself, as a young biologist aboard H.M.S. Beagle, was so thoroughly orthodox that the ship's officers laughed at his propensity for quoting Scripture. Then 'disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate,' he recalled, 'but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress.' The phrase 'by the creator,' in the final sentence of the selection chosen here, did not appear in the first edition of Origin of Species. It was added to the second edition to conciliate angry clerics. Darwin later wrote, 'I have long since regretted that I truckled to public opinion and used the Pentateuchal term of creation, by which I really meant 'appeared' by some wholly unknown process." [stress added] (Gardner, 1984)
