Has evolutionism become a leading religion?

Both the religions of Christianity and naturalism/darwinism offer answers.
How did we come about being here? what is our Purpose and where are we going. Religion discusses teleology.

I have been called intellectually dishonest. Yes I know what i am talking about. I also am not naive regarding the agenda of the evolutionists.

It woulld be dishonest to act like we don't know what is going on.

The goals of Eugenie Scott are to get people fired that mention religion and creation in the classroom. Religion is a threat to the false religion of evolutionism. She names the court cases. It will not get a biiology teacher fired if they attack Religion.

Biological evolution doesn't even propose to try and answer the ultimate "why?" questions about the appearance of design. It simply records observations of nature and helps to organize the facts into a cohesive paradigm.

For example, "Why" and "how" do birds fly? They fly, in part, to escape predators on the ground. They fly to reach different feeding areas as the seasons change. For all we know, they may also fly just for the fun of it. Ever notice the birds that dive in front of your car at times?

Biological evolution can explain the development of feathers, the ancestry of feathered dinosaurs from the Cretaceous era and the development of characteristics needed for flight. It cannot answer and never proposes to answer the question of, "Why do birds and their ground based ancestors even exist at all?"
