Technically, evolution is not a theory. There are a couple religions that can come from evolution though.
Liberal Christianity
Agnosticism - Not knowing if God exists
Gnosticism - Believes that God does not exist
Wicca - Not really from evolution, but Wiccans believe in it

Man I HATE going to agnostic church on a Sunday morning, the sermons are way longer than they are in regular churches, it's so fucking boring,
'In the beginning God might have created the Heaven and the Earth, but then again he might not have. God might love us and he might be watching over us all. As we go about our own lives we must keep in mind the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us, if indeed he did make a sacrifice, we're not really sure. For all we know the Muslims could be right, or the Buddhists. Oh well, please turn to page 54 for hymn number 7, the Lord might be my shepherd'.
i see some logic to this post:
humans evolved to the point where they started creating religion,
then all your mentioned "religions" were formed ('cept wicca, but the many religions that formed the basis for wicca were formed), thus were a result of evolution
then darwin was born, and may or may not have believed in those mentioned. meanwhile evolution continues
although i don't see where the "evolution is not a theory" fits in. are you stating that it's a fact? most people who believe in evolution (read:non-fundies) would argue that one.

I think you mean Atheism. Gnosticism has really nothing to do with agnosticism or atheism. It was a cult of early christians who had rather unconventional christian beliefs. Look it up on wikipedia for more info.
“Technically, evolution is not a theory.”
Could you please offer a definition of ‘theory’ that scientists would accept BUT excludes evolution?
I’m guessing….::Crickets::
“There are a couple religions that can come from evolution though.”
No there are not. Science is silent on supernatural topics.
“Liberal Christianity”
Ah. Christains who do not take Genesis literally.
“Agnosticism - Not knowing if God exists”
Originally, it meant not believing one could have a personal relationship with the divine, to ‘know’ God. People with a half-assed understanding think it means an inability to decide.
“Gnosticism - Believes that God does not exist”
Gnostics believed that one MUST form a personal relationship with the divine. They eschewed ntercessors like the Church.
“Wicca - Not really from evolution, but Wiccans believe in it”
So if it’s not FROM evolution, why bother to bring it up as something FROM evolution?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
