That's not bashing Christianity, that is a statement of fact. Some religious organizations exist for the sole purpose of undermining evolution because they see it as evil and a deception from the devil to take people from God. They fight through the legal system to introduce non-scientific topics that undermine evolution into the science classroom.

How is talking about the groups doing this bashing Christianity? Christians themselves are highly vocal in criticizing these groups.

Evolution doesn't say humans came from apes, it says apes and humans share a common ancestor. If you don't accept that, then you don't accept evolution at all. And this is the crux of the problem, you don't accept evolution, because basically you don't want to.
