"Evolution is not atheistic." Semantics. Tell it to one of the most out-spoken mouthpeices for scientists, Dawkins. His definition of evolution IS atheistic.
Of course, his definition of evolution is in reality, evolutionISM because it embraces a materialistic (naturalistic) doctrine of origins.
How about yours?

" Semantics"
Sorry you don't like words with precise meanings. Evolution is not atheistic.
" Tell it to one of the most out-spoken mouthpeices for scientists, Dawkins. His definition of evolution IS atheistic."
To the extent that Dawkins says that evolution requires atheism, he is wrong.
"Of course, his definition of evolution is in reality, evolutionISM because it embraces a materialistic (naturalistic) doctrine of origins."
ALL science works only with naturalistic causes and testable, observable claims. Evolution is no different than every other theory in science.
" How about yours?"
I already told you.

So would you also judge all Christians by the statement of one?
Like this, for example;
The unrestrained freedom of thinking and of openly making known ones thoughts is not inherent in the rights of citizens and is by no means worthy of favor and support.
