I would think the single greatest sin in any religion woulf be to discredit it with phony miracles, particularly phony miracles that produce monitary gain for the perpetrators.

So why is is antireligious to expect religion to police itself? Why is it OK to call evolution a religion and trash it, but forbidden to expect churches and preachers to maintain basic honesty?

"Why is it OK to call evolution a religion and trash it, but forbidden to expect churches and preachers to maintain basic honesty?"

I have no problem with your belief in evolution or even darwinism. I am concerned about 2 points: 1) your efforts to silence any alternate discussion (or person) to your beliefs, and 2) the lack of scientific evidence for your position (I know there is plenty of "evidence" that you truely believe, but it hardly falls into the scientific category - maybe it's social science)
