Maybe to Fundamentalist the debate is over Atheism vs religion, but to 99% of those that believe that evolution is indeed on the right track, it is not.

Fundamentalists try to put us all in the same atheist box, and it doesn't wash, and they get a bit upset about it.

Agreed. The creationists (not all "Fundamentalists" are creationists) attack the atheists, but in so doing, they attack the scientists as well.

"Science" is not absolved in this matter, though: the strong tendency is to label all challenges to the theory of evolution as "creationist attacks," and in many cases one can see scientists using arguments from atheism to defend their claims.

Personally, I don't much care -- my faith in God doesn't depend upon the falsification of evolution.
