I beg your pardon. Einstein would have howled if a YEC had stood up to oppose him. If he kept out of religion it was because there was no organized movement of fundamentalists trying to shout him down during his lifetime.
As for evolutionists, it's pretty difficult to avoid conflict with religion when your life's work says the literal interpretation of scripture is wrong.
And concerning Dawkins - he howls indeed but his is certainly not the only discipline which disputes a 6,000 year age of the universe measured from our space/time coordinates. Off the top of my head, there's also astronomy, geology, archeology, cosmology, geometric physics.
Methinks he doth protest too much...
