Yes, it's safe to say that. Religious people only "demonize" science when the information received is in direct conflict with what they believe. The word demonize has many connotations, which may not be the best word for what you are asking. They choose to disregard the scientific evidence.

I would think so.
After all we benefit from science in so many ways for example, the science of medicine and the healing arts.
Science is great... and I have no problem with science per SE.
But I am not convinced that science can explain everything absolutely in this world, and so there are instances in which I consider science to be less qualified to help me understand this world in which I live.
And completely incapable of explaining the world in which I by faith believe I will be going to.
I am still a believer in the Bible and still a creationist.

MOST religious people that I know personally do not demonize science. Very few do, actually. They're very reasonable people. They believe in evolution; they just figure that that's how God DID it. It's not a big deal to them.

I would agree with that, most religous people will hold on their faith more than science. I would like to think that religious people would be grateful to science for making somethings in their lives a little easier and helpful. I can also see using science as way to understanding how things work and how they may be related to how God(or other deity) works.

Yes, I think that's an accurate statement. I don't even think most religious people here are as bad as they appear to be. I think they sometimes feel they have to debunk science to make a point. Of course, I mean science in general, not evolution. Some simply don't believe in that at all.

yes, reasonable religious people. Science is just the investigation and discovery of all the wonderful mysteries and secrets that God created. Can you imagine how boring the world would be if we knew it all, and nothing was left to discover?

Yes. We do not demonize Science. We believe that God is behind of this operation and no one has ever been able to prove it otherwise. : )

Yes. Most theists I know do not do that at all. Seems to be a talent of the religious right.

Sure, it would be safe to say that.
For myself, I'm very hopeful and supportive that one day science, in their quest for ultimate truths, will find God in their own way. Of course, they scoff at that, but I consider their disbelief a good thing in that when they do find their ultimate proof of His being, their disbelief can be counted as fairness to their scientific methods.
I know it looks like I'm treating scientists like children, but I honestly don't mean it that way. I'm pretty excited myself in scientifically proving what my life shows and my heart knows to be true ... but I'm not smart enough to figure out what that proof is. I'm hoping the scientists can do it for me :)

Better than 60% of all science and scientists are religious.
Isaac Newton spent his free time trying to pin down the actual date of Jesus crusifiction.
Einstien spoke of religion and his own views on God and religion all the time.
You have two of the greatest thinkers of modern times both giving time and effort to relgious concepts.
