Has evolution become a religion?

Evolution is not a sicentific theory All people tend to come up with a creator or a creation story, even if they haven't been exposed to an 'established' religion. They show a lot of faith in these stories. Is evolution turning into one of these? Does the dogma behind it and the efforts people will go to to promote it indicate that people have invested a lot more emotionally in it than it's academic value alone would inspire?
