To the best of my knowledge...
Most churches / organised religions are opposed to teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory.They consider that it is teaching religion in the schools and they don't believe it is appropriate.
The 'intelligent design hypothesis' was supposed to be creationism divorced from any particular religion. Divorced from a literal interpretation of Genesis.
Because the 'intelligent design hypothesis' is divorced from any particular religion they present it as a scientific hypothesis rather than a religious one. They argue that the intelligent design hypothesis should be taken seriously as a scientific hypothesis.
But... Most people who believe in the intelligent design hypothesis are protestants...
