I should not have assumed that people would get that I was making an intersection of the "average uninformed person" and the group "those of religious conviction". I'm happy to correct my wording to "those average uninformed persons of religious conviction" because that's exactly what I meant.
I know there are plenty of religious people who are also informed that evolution has overwhelming evidence in support of its existence, and those people generally think that their religious beliefs can co-exist with the evidence. I'm more concerned with the people who are erring on the side of belief than on the side of fact because they don't have the facts.
