Fake Christians
I feel like you're assuming that anyone that doesn't support "Creation Science" is by default falling under your atheist umbrella.
I know many Christians in the biology field and others, many who have published very reputable papers. Are these not "real Christians" because they do not believe the earth is young and accept evolution as the accepted and most proven explanation for life's diversity?
I think they would take issue with this.

Re: Scientists control science
"Since statistics show that only 6% of scientists are Republicans"
Most Republicans I know seek out "Business" and a few other fields like it, they tend not to have interest in science. Perhaps this is more of a case of the way people think and not exclusion.
One seeks out science because they have a passion for it. There is little money to be made for the average scientist.
Different types of minds I assume. Much like "Liberals" tend to seek out law also.
Different mind types would focus on different fields would you not agree?
Why do you think Republican means Christian?
New Atheism is, and more and more atheists seem to be joining its ranks,
Hardly, the opposite is true. Humanism is part of new Atheism and pushes nothing but peace.
Someone posting an image on facebook mocking something in the bible is not "hostile".
Unless of course you're talking about atheists fighting for their rights in schools and government as an "Attack". Someone getting the same rights or taking away a special privilege no one else has is not an attack.
I feel the last sentence may sway the topic, if it does I'm sorry
