religion does two separate things
1. answers the creation question
2. serves as government (and sometimes military) organization
these two are tied together with a God concept - God created everything and then got involved in running human affairs
evolution is sort of God-like in its creative power (so arguably not too much different than the God creation theory) - BUT it really doesn't lend itself well to creation of a rhetorical device to unify or control masses of people.
people probably got annoyed with evolutionary theory because it breaks (1) and (2) apart.
