It is exactly this type of atheistic tinged idiocy wallowing beneath the cover of science that gives true science a bad name. It is exactly this kind of careless stupidity that serves to enable creationists to claim equivalence in argument.

And for the record, evolution itself is independent of any religious or philosophical belief. It either is the mechanism for how we got here, or it isnt. The number of people who believe one way or another doesnt change that.

That being said, there IS a reason beyond simple arrogance why most scientists are largely areligious. Science has punched huge philosophical holes into the mainstream concepts of God and calls into question a creators ability to be perfect while simultaneously creating what we observe. Dismissing religion isnt merely a passing thought, most who were and are now not will tell you it took a larger and larger stretch of belief to merge science with God's supposed nature until they could no longer do it anymore.
