Which denominations teach the creationism myth doesn't matter to me. That it's accepted by a majority of the people in my country over good, solid science certainly does. "Most of Christianity" in the US absolutely does fall into the literal interpretation camp. As you said above, these opponents can't be underestimated.
Creationism as an incarnation of anti-intellectualism or whatever is dangerous in that it hinders scientific development. It's the responsibility of every person that values science to defend it.
