Those ideas are not mutually exclusive. Even if you were a devout Christian you could still believe that God created man using evolution. It has always seemed silly to me that people get into huge fights about this.

There are good people to be found in any religion or belief system, whether it be Christian, Pagan, Jewish, Buddhist, or whatever. And if that belief system comforts them and helps them to be a better person, then it's great in my book.

I agree with you entirely. That's one of the things that bothered me about Christianity - that someone could be a perfectly good and moral person but be damned to hell because they did not believe that Jesus was the son of God. Or, even worse, they didn't believe in Jesus the correct way (being Catholic instead of Protestant or vice versa).
