It's an issue that's been long settled in Western culture for quite some time. In fact, neither the Vatican or, to my knowledge, the Anglican Church ever formally objected to the theory of evolution, though there may have been some grumblings amongst a few individuals.
Are you seeing a serious attack on evolution in Canada? No. Are you seeing a serious attack on evolution in the UK? No. Are you seeing a serious attack on evolution in Australia? Are you seeing a serious attack on evolution anywhere in Western Europe. No.
These are the countries and cultures that share the most in terms of values and ideologies, including religious, yet only in the US, and recently, has there been a concerted effort to push Creationism as a scientific theory. To me, that says it's less about religion vs science, and FAR more about local cultural conflict.
