Religion is not the same as action.
Action is choice.
We should not group those who choose a religion as bad, under the assumption they will make the choice to act on it.
Nor should you assume that religion is a choice when it has been forced on you from your earliest memory. Whether Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, et al, most adherents have been indoctrinated from a very young age.
Addressing the survey statistics in the OP...
If the questions were changed so that Evangelical Christians were asked similar questions unmasking their indoctrination relative to evolution I think we would see similar results. My point is that we shouldn't be so alarmed about the particular questions, but recognize the results as demonstration of what happens when someone's exposure to information is insulated.
