Anyway, what I mean is I am looking for a book on evolution that is pro-science, not anti-religion. Can anyone recomend some books like this?

Several of Dawkin's more recent books deal with debunking Creationist arguments against evolution. They were written to explain why Intelligent design is not science based and evolution is now accepted as fact. Understanding of this is sorely needed in the current United States.
Start with The Selfish Gene and then try The Ancestor's Tale.
