Consider these words you wrote:

I'm sure you're aware of the poll that's running. Even if people like me who oppose creationism being taught in science class as a competing "theory" are a minority, we're a significant minority, at approximately 30%. The number of people who hold religions views here is much higher. To me this imples the majority of those 30% who oppose creationism/ID being taught in science class are themselves religious.
Something like this might be a better topic. It recognizes that people on both sides have religious faith. From there, sectarian arguments can begin.
This miserable article started as an atheist/evolutionist bashing thread and went downhill.
