Who is more likely to believe in Creationism, a Christian or a Muslim?

In active terms, i.e. specifically believing that evolution is not true, a Christian, but this is because i suspect that it's a bigger issue in societies which are predominantly Christian than it is in those which are Islamic. Education probably also means that many Muslims don't get to the point where it becomes an issue for them at all. They don't get to confront the ideas of evolution and creationism in the first place because their countries are poorer and their formal education is less extensive. This is not to patronise them since i'm sure that the average Westerner plonked down in a typical Islamic country wouldn't be able to survive or make a living either.
