I think it goes beyond religion. Evolution just hasn't been taught for long enough and isn't covered in-depth enough in our schools. If you're over 35, you probably weren't taught about it in school. It's tough to make people change their train of thoughts when they have been taught a certain way since birth.
Just look at our country and its fascination with Christopher Columbus. Make a poll asking if Columbus was a great man or ruthless murderer. I bet you the poll shows overwhelmingly in favor of great man simply because that is what we were taught in school.
As long as evolution is taught in schools, those numbers who don't believe will get smaller and smaller.
