Why are there are still millions of evolution deniers 152 years after Charles Darwin's Origin of Species?

In normal countries virtually everyone accepts our evolutionary relationship with the other modern ape species. In Idiot America about half the population denies this basic fact of science, and most of the rest think supernatural magic was a necessary mechanism to make the development of modern human apes possible.

What makes Idiot America different from the rest of the civilized world? Why are we virtually tied with the Muslim Middle East in acceptance of evolution and far behind every other Western country? Why do we have more in common with Muslim terrorists than we do with all of Europe (and other countries with educated populations)?

The answer couldn't possibly be more obvious. I could blame poor science education but the real reason is much worse. The problem is the Christian death cult, a disease which is out of control in the United States of Jeebus.
