Unfortunately, the press do simply refer to them as conservatives.

I've started using "anti-evolution activists". It covers both ID and creationism, and it correctly classifies them as political activists rather than scientists.
Well, Coulter and others seem intent on linking Conservatism with being Anti-Science; they seem to be succeeding in the scientific community.
