they are a virtual religion, of materialistic philosophy, a brand of secular humanism...
saying naturalistic humanism is not a religion, or merely a competitor with religous notions is making a difference without a distinction, it is a relgious world view

You didn't read my earlier answer, did you?
An "evolutionist" IS a religious belief. It might seem like I am giving a slightly different answer this time, but there is a difference between someone who *studies* the theory of evolution and an "evolutionist" which involves the religious acceptance of the theory of evolution as truth. The former is science, the latter is religion.
I mean, your question is about as fair as me asking, "Is Chrstianity just an excuse for people that suck at math and science?"
No. It's just mean. There are plenty of Christians who are also doctors and scientists, even if there are few that let themselves confuse religion for science and vice versa.
Fess up: It's a false dichotomy!

The logic in that question is so bad, it actually makes my head hurt.
Belief in the biblical creation myth is not required for a person to be spiritual or religious. People have many beliefs, and not all of them are theistic. You yourself have beliefs that don't pertain to your religion, and yet you post countless inane questions in this category.

Why do christians keep asking questions directed to *evolutionists*? There is no such thing as an evolutionist. You either believe in evolution or you don't. What do you call a christian who believes in evolution? I call them enlightened.

If it's not a religion, why call them "evolutionists"? Besides, creation science isn't science; if it is, why is it brought up here all the time?

I am an enthusiastic Pantheist with a college education. I thought when you people kept asking questions to "evolutionist", you were refering to all of us who are actually educated in that area.
Sorry, my bad!

I am an atheist. That pertains to religion. You are the one that keeps asking these things in the wrong category. You ought to ask it in the Biology section.

Because this is a discussion of religion, not exclusively for religious people. It's difficult to have a meaningful debate if only one side is represented. If your faith is strong, can't it stand up to someone questioning it?

No such thing as an "evolutionist". Someone either believes science or they do not.
