There is one definition, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, that confirms your statement.

A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

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?

"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."

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.
