No, evolution does not rule out religion or religious beliefs. Evolution does rule out certain religious claims - such as a literal interpretation of Genesis - but is not relevant to religion from a philosophical perspective. There are many people who are religious evolutionists, and they have reconciled the two positions in a number of different ways. Each person's religious convictions are entirely in their domain provided that they do not make claims that contradict evolutionary (or any other scientific) evidence. Please see Evolution, Religion, and Creationism, Religion and Evolution, Evolution vs. Creation, and Talk.Origins - God and Evolution. For an interesting combination of evolution and religion, see Finding Darwin's God by Kenneth Miller.
