Oh, silly me, I thought you said "atheism is religion" ... never heard "evolution" as being called a religion before..still, one is about as ignorant as the other. I think most of the same points used to disprove atheism as a religion in my above link can be used just as well for evolution.

Kinda like saying "Prayer is a cult!"
