It is hard to fight religious thought because religion is more accessible to people than science. People can go to church or read the Bible, but where can they go to learn about science of any type? They can go to the library, but they won't know where to start. Turn on a TV, and there are at least a couple of purely Christian channels. If there were more science channels, people would be more interested in science and they would learn more about it, instead of simply dismissing it whenever it goes against their religious beliefs.
There are TV channels about science, but they are pretty low quality, and are heavily influenced by pseudoscience. How many times do we need to see documentaries about blurry UFO pictures and people searching for chupacabras, only to find nothing? There have been some absolutely fascinating discoveries in evolution and developmental biology lately, why not make documentaries about stuff like that? I'm sure there is a market for this stuff, its just that people don't know they can become interested in it.
