That all religious people are creationists - it only depends to which degree they are creationists. Some believe that god made people out of clay with his hands while others think that he created the universe and then let it go do its thing.
They also base their worldwide on folklore rather than on evidence and science.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
