Fester old friend I answered why I thought it was religious. Its basis is on the Bible (as you posted). The Designer is God (as you said). And its proponents are evangelicals such as Pat Robertson(who seemed to think God will get His revenge on them for denying ID). If this answer is not good enough then nothing is old friend.
Intelligent design is abundant without any reference to the biblical texts. You don't need a Bible to build a Ford, but you might need something beyond common sense.
