Well the point that Darwinism is synonymous with Reductionist Physicalism is what I was contending. I guess I'm not sure what points you're making besides that one?
Maybe I'm missing what "Darwinism" means, as IIRC even Darwin's own writings were not definitively atheistic nor materialist?
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
