I think it's unfair to characterize all faith in God so harshly as has been done here. Many unsavory things have been done with faith in God, but is this not also true of many things which are not necessarily bad?
I believe in God, but I don't even think evolution is even a matter of faith. The evidence leads straightforwardly to the conclusion--it's nearly inconceivable that it could be wrong. I don't really feel conflicted here, either.
I'm a Bah'. One of the things Bah's believe is that religion can't be simultaneously true and contrary to reason. The Wikipedia article on this stuff isn't too bad.
In any case, there's good stuff in Christianity itself, as well. I think it'd be pretty hard to argue that 'love thy neighbor' and the Golden Rule are bad.
Okay, I'm done. I now return you to your regularly scheduled program. Two great tastes that go great together!
