Why do some creationists refer to evolution, a scientific theory, as a religion? Is it to make it sound stupid?

It is because they know that their belief in creationism is based on faith, not on evidence. As such, they need to "level the playing field" by making evolution look like a faith-based belief or religion as well in order to remain competitive. It is deliberately dishonest, which is why creationism will always fail under the light of scrutiny whereas actual science, such as evolution, will only become stronger under scrutiny.
