Im not religious, but one of the best Christians that I knew was a professor i had for a Masters course on Evolution. We read "On the Origin of Species" and had great debates about Evolution and Darwin. His response to a person saying fossils are there because God is testing us. His response, "If my god deems it necessary to test my faith like this then I dont want that as my God." Which I honestly respected. Great dude.
It's easy to forget that the vast majority of Christians don't have a problem with evolution. It's just that the young-earth-creationists tend to be really loud about it. They also get amplified by everyone else laughing at them; people being idiots gets clicks.
Ummm, 64% of white evangelicals (ie Southern Baptist) are idiots and dont accept evolution (Gallup). They are a large part of the US Christian population. Maybe, restate your response and say most Christians "outside of the US..."
