Religion is not defined as having an actual god or gods. I think that evolutionism is a religion, and that people who push for the destruction of Christianity are in the same lot as militant islams.

A belief in evolution certainly requires a great deal more faith (or ignorance) than believing the Biblical account of creation.
Contrary to popular belief, it was a Christian scientist, Edward Blyth, who came up with the theory of natural selection, which was published 24 years before Darwin's Origin of Species.
Natural selection (or survival of the fittest) does not in any way contradict the Biblical creation account and is agreed upon by almost all scientists. Every known scientific study into natural selection shows a diminution of the gene pool and an exaggeration of some already existing traits.
Evolution demands the introduction of new genetic material and new traits. This has never been observed in any scientific study and to try to extrapolate from natural selection to evolution is totally contradictory to the principles of empirical science and requires a huge leap of faith.
The Theory of Evolution is the product of humanism, man's declaration that he does not need God, and it is humanism, rather than "evolutionism" that is a religion.
Any attack upon the authority of the Bible is an attack upon Jesus Christ, the Logos (Word) of God.

What does evolutionism have to do with the destruction of Christianity?
And, yes, you are the only one who thinks evolutionism is a religion.
Take a comparative religions class, or something.

Evolution is a well established scientific fact, not a religion. And it doesn't actually push for the destruction of Christianity. It pushes for the destruction of the myth of the world being created by a superior force. It's not Darwin's fault if Christianity is still clinging to that myth.

You are out on a limb here. I believe you will find the majority of Christians accept evolution as the explanation for the development of species over time. It doesn't "push for the destruction of Christianity" though it conflicts with fundamentalist view that everything was , for once and all, created in seven days. You see evolution as a religion but religions are based on faith. Evolution is based on science, which rests not on faith but empirical evidence.

The only place you'll ever hear the word, 'evolutionism' is in a forum like this. And thank you for re-defining religion, I always thought it had something to do with 're-binding', or 're-connecting'.
Evolution is a valid theory. 'Survival of the Fittest' is anti-christ. The end does not justify the means.

Evolution is an actual natural process that can be proved and observed again and again. Whereas a religion is not based on any verifiable truth at all, only stories and faith.
