Hello kelly_jacques,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your question, "known as...on religious grounds" alters the meaning of the sentence; the construction of this phrase incorrectly implies that William Jennings Bryan was an opponent of evolution, and this fact was known on religious grounds; the intended meaning is that it was known that William Jennings Bryan opposed evolution on the grounds of religion.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
