An evangelical charlatan was indeed involved. For example, James Kennedy linked Hitler and Darwin, and claimed Nazism and Communism were animated by the idea of evolution.
The quote is oft cited by white supremacist and other ugly hate sites to justify persecution of those of whom they do not approve.
Sigh…
