Since Gabler is dead, we may never know whether he was intentionally being dishonest. It appears from the Wiki article that he challenged many different textbooks outside the areas of science seeking changes and corrections. It does not appear that these actions were all religiously motivated. It also appears that he truly believed that there were problems with textbooks related to the teaching of evolution. Whether he viewed these problems from a point of ignorance, or religious bias, I do not know.
The science section of Gabler's textbook criticisms only deals with biology texts and is almost entirely concerned with evolution.
Clearly he wanted biology texts to be modified to fit better with his own beliefs (even though he obviously didn't know the subject matter at all).
So it seems very obvious that his dealings with biology texts were almost entirely religiously motivated.
