The term "Darwinism" is in fact frequently used to try to cast
evolutionary biology as an ideology by those trying to attack
evolution. It rarely shows much correspondance to Darwin's actual
views.

Ken Miller has written some widely-used biology textbooks, though I
don't think he is too strong on theology (he endorsed some mutally
conflicting assertions in his talk here, though he clearly asserted
his acceptance of the authority of Scripture).
