Anecdotal evidence is that almost all creationists are Christians. The majority (but not all) of creationist spokespeople appear, from their comments and discussion, to be fundamental Christians.

Sections of the creationist movement in the United States approached the courts, claiming that creationism is not about religion, but is open as to who the creator was. However, they clearly gave no credence to the possibility that the creator god, if he exists, belongs in the Hindu pantheon or perhaps the pagan pantheon, etc. The only logical answer they saw was that the creator god was the Abrahamic God. The court has held that creationism and its offshoot, Intelligent Design, are religious concepts.

Those who identify as, or can be identified as, creationists tend to take a quite literal view of The Bible. Many are 'young-earth' creationists who believe, on biblical evidence, that the earth is only a few thousand years old. Others accept the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and adopt an 'old-earth' creationist view.
