There are no places that haven't felt some influence of Christianity, China included, and I have no issue with living in a country where you practice your religion to your heart's content, Christianity, Islam, Judiasm, agnosticism or whatever else that suits you. That being said, I would like to live in a country where practicing religion to your heart's content stops with
your heart, and does not intrude onto my own. A government that openly embraces the teachings and doctrines of any religion does just that, and it seems to me that a great number of people want this imposition to grow.
Now, the theory of evolution does not preclude the existence of god. If anything, it can be interpreted as a mechanism by which god operates. Questionable to some, valid or invalid, it still never comes out and says 'God is a myth'.... But imagine somebody in power trying to push through a law that mandates the teaching of athiesm in public schools, and tell me that wouldn't make you upset, paranoid, and yes, a little defensive.
