Evolution versus religion in the minds of the masses.

The problem with evolutionary theory versus religion is that most people don't have the time to read up on this stuff it is after all bloody complex stuff, so because of this they just go with what their leaders are saying on the subject, the problem is, is that they have two sets of leaders scientific and religious, with religion you get an easy to understand explenation for everything, you get morality and you get an afterlife as well wheras with science you get a great if at time harder to understand explenation of everything or allmost everything around you and you get the tools with which you can dicuss this and explore it further but you don't get all the stuff the religion can give you. the fact of the matter is that most people know that the scientific answers are the correct ones but its just that with religion you get more bang for you're buck as people say so most people go with the religious answers if religion offered less than science then people would go with science.
The way to counter this is to show exactly how little religion offers you by which i mean show the things that it doesn't offer you and show how you would be able to come at all of those things via science. You could write a whole book on it, the only problem being that most people won't have the time to read it.
