But many people who believe in God (including many Christians) are not Biblical literalists.

The fact that people may believe in something has absolutely no bearing on whether or not that belief has any philosophical coherence.

Not being a Biblical literalist is hardly the same thing as "negating religion".

Sure, there are a thousand ways to be religious. But Darwinism is completely incompatible with Christianity. Christ came and died so that we could be forgiven for our sins. The Christian understanding of sin is 100% rooted in the doctrine of human depravity, original sin, and Adam. With no literal Adam, no literal garden, no literal first sin, no literal curse, the entire doctrines of Christianity are reduced to fairy tales. Christ died for NOTHING. If only he had consulted Darwin first.

One of the principal scientific witnesses for the plaintiffs in the Dover trial, btw, was a practicing Catholic.

It would appear he/she needs more practice.
