This makes me wonder. How come the DI doesn't try harder to tell their followers to stop referring to ID as religion? They've been trying very hard to convince the rest of the country that ID is not religion. Why aren't they asserting the same kind of effort on their supporters?
They don't have to convince their supporters that ID is not religion. All they have to do is quietly pass a note around saying "shhhh... don't let the evil atheists know ID is religion."
I think its because they feel an obligation to tell the masses that they are religious in nature, think of the whole "creation science" group, theres a lot of people out there that really think someone is more trustworthy when someone says "god in science". It would be more suspicious to the ton of believers supporting them already if they didn't every now and then talk about it being religious in nature, not scientific.
I think if they really really tried to hard, that no creationist minded group of people would ever think about promoting/supporting the DI, because they don't have a creationist agenda.
