If ID is supposed to be a religious doctrine, which religion does it support or is it associated with?
According to the Discovery Institute, which is the leading proponent of ID, the point of ID is to promote an idea of science, "consonant with Christian and theistic convictions" and to, "affirm the reality of God".

It sounds more like an anti-religion cult, if you ask me.

I would have thought there might be a clue in the 'Topics' listed at the top of this section:
"TOPICS:
KEYWORDS: CHRIST; DESIGN; EVOLUTION; GOD; INTELLIGENT; ORIGINS"
Don't you know? It's the Christian Church of Organized Matter and Intelligent Design.
Kansas State immunologist Scott Todd adds, "Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such a hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic" (Nature, Sept. 30, 1999, p. 423). Yet true science is the pursuit of truth, not merely the pursuit of a materialistic explanation despite evidence to the contrary.
