Religion can be defined as a set of beliefs for which one is willing to kill or die for.
Millions of people have been killed in the name of evolution. It would seem that the instigators were very religious indeed.
On the other side are christians who would certainly not be prepared to die for what they believe in. If they are not then even if they are regular church attenders then their christianity is not a religion regardless of their protestations.
"...he described his belief that biblical passages criticising homosexual sex were not aimed at people who were gay by nature."

He also upset the authorities which, strangly enough, resulted in his crucifixion.
