Wrong, Evolution is no more a religion than gravity is. They are both "Just a theory".
You don't understand what science is and how it works.
Religion:
1. A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
2. Institution to express belief in a divine power

Why do you say this fits evolution? Is evolution a cause? No. Is it a principle? Yes. Is it an activity? I don't think so. Is it pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion? Not at all.
Why do you seem to think it is? Ah, I see, you are confused between how you view origins with how scientists view origins. Just because you pursue your religion with zeal, you think that evolutionists do the same with evolution. They don't.
Does this help clear things up for you?

Exactly. Evolution continues wheither we actively "spread the word" or not. God disappears once no one speaks of him/her/it.

Actually, you don't know if God disappears or not.
Nobody does.

Of course we do since god only exists in the belief of others.

Every human concept of God/gods could be incorrect, but this does not disprove the existence of God/gods.
It simply means that we don't know.
And because we don't know, all beliefs of a god or gods are in the beliefs only as in speculations. It is totally unknowable about the existence of a creator of all. Everything else is just a choice to believe in something without any real knowledge. If their beliefs were true than there wouldn't be any real doubt because it would be perfectly obvious to everyone since their "god" would be able to prove its existence without having to use such nonsens as faith only. Having faith in the existence of a Big Blue Banana is no different and just as valid as a belief in a god.
