I continue to wonder what is so loathsome about religion that when creationists call evolution a religion they mean it as an insult.

I guess because many Christians do not regard their beliefs to be a religion. You must have heard "Christianity is not a religion, it's a personal relationship with Jesus" speech before. :-)

A personal relationship with Jesus does not impel spouting nonsense. In fact, it suggests no political or intellectual action at all. Just treating other people with love and respect.
