It is no longer science when the facts are interpreted within a framework of evolutionary ideology.The ideology becomes more important than the science.

What ideology is that then? The ideology where you don't assume that the answer to every difficult question is "God did it?"

You'll have to supply examples to justify the idea that virtually all biologists (including many who are religious) are interpreting the data through an ideological prism when they accept ToE.

I'd suggest the opposite; since the tiny minority of scientist rejectors of ToE are 100% religious (I am not aware of a single one who is agnostic or atheist) they are the ones viewing the data through an ideological prism. The accepters of ToE comprise atheists, agnostics, catholics, protestants, and many other world religions which implies strongly that acceptance of evolution is ideology neutral amongst scientists.
