David Attenborough gets hate mail?

I was shocked to discover that one of my all time favorite TV presenters, David Attenborough, gets hate mail from Christian creationists because he does not credit an invisible super-being as creating all the wonderful wildlife he presents in his TV programs. I am all confused.... once again, at the stunning amount of garbage and hate spread in the name of religion. David Attenborough is wonderful, and I have watched his presentations for as long as I can remember. This one was voted as a favorite clip by British viewers.

I cannot imagine anyone hating David Attenborough, but according to the Guardian, a British newspaper, there are plenty of them. "They tell me to burn in hell and good riddance," said Mr Attenborough. Oh well, it must be hell having your core belief system questioned every time you pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV. Odd really - it seems as though most of the climate change deniers just happen to be hard-core christians as well. Wonder why?
