The atheists (at least those who are doctrinaire atheists) …
We could have weeks of argument over just what “doctrinaire atheists” is supposed to mean, but that would be off-topic.
In response to B1: All science is an excerize in methodological naturalism*. It doesn’t matter if you are atheist or YEC, or anywhere in between. I have worked with hundreds of scientists and the question of religion never comes up unless it is a data point relative to the question of interest. The closest I have come to a matter of belief was in helping to design a study on the effect of homoepathic remedies (on plants).
* I am aware that @swamidass disagrees with the term, but i haven’t got a better one.
Bravo! More importantly Just as important, Christians have been injured by Christians. Some of those are driven to become atheists, which is beside the point. That kind of abuse shouldn’t be happening in the first place, and certainly not in the name of religion.
