If that is what you believe, you should do some more research on Darwin.

The Christians deny Darwin but love social Darwinism...

Really? The Director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis
Collins, is both a staunch Darwinist and a staunch Christian.

Even the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_evolution) says that
there is no conflict between Evolution and the Church and even held a
conference marking the 150th anniversary of the Origin of Species, the
book that introduced the concept of natural selection by Charles Darwin
(the idea of evolution is much older). Some Christian Churches say that
evoluton and Christianity are not compatible, some churches say they
don't care one way or the other about evolution and some say that
studying evolution is studying nature and, therefore, part of studying
His Creation.

So before you say Christians deny Darwin, learn the facts.

What do you mean?

I would argue that Darwin seems to be aware of the potential effect of
his theory on Christianity (which is part of the reason why it took so
long for him to publish his theory), but, this reaction of the different
churches to Darwin is a study of theology, not Darwin.

They don't deny Darwin. They deny Evolution, at least the sheep do.
But the wolves know all about Darwinism.
