Not only was it not politically correct within Darwin’s own circles, he himself didn’t believe it and apparently felt ashamed for writing dishonestly in an attempt to gain a wider acceptance for his evo-atheist creation myth.
Here you are attributing motives to Darwin — which is a very unscientific thing to do. But then it seems people do that sort of thing all the time nowadays....
Somehow, I just don't think it's right, or appropriate in a scientific discussion.
JMHO, FWIW
