In this sense, evolution most certainly can be a religion. I pursue its instruction in the science classroom everywhere with zeal and conscientious devotion, and I am against any and all attempts to legitimize intelligent design.
Of course, if this is the definition you're using, then you'd be hard pressed to say that intelligent design is not also religion.
So, exactly what definition are you using?

Thank you for admitting that evolution is just as much a religion as the naturalists claim is ID.
And that ID is just as 'scientific' as evolution.
