I have a suggestion, it would be for the scientific community to strongly suggest that its most prominent members (Shermer and Dawkins, Stenger, Dennett, countless others) get OUT of the atheist promotion business! Do you have a better idea than that one?
Yes. For the religious community to stay out of science. Come on, tit for tat.

I've never even heard of Stenger, so he may be a scientist, but he's not a prominent anything, not even a prominent atheist.
I think he means Victor J. Stenger. As can be seen in the wiki article, he is no longer a scientist (he quit in the '90's, the book Marc mentions is form 2007), and focusses more on philosophy and religious skepticism now.
In other words, 3 of his 4 "prominent scientists" aren't scientists, or when they are, certainly not promiment.
Edited by Huntard, : some clarity

Aside from Dawkins, the most prominent practicing scientists in the creation/evolution debate that I can think of are Stephen Jay Gould (now deceased) and Ken Miller, both very friendly to religion.
And of course the Methodists and Catholics must be atheists, too, since they have no problem with evolution or the rest of modern science.
But of course. Those zealous satan worshipping liberal nazi communist atheists have found a way to destroy religion from the inside out!
Seriously Marc, is there any real evidence you can cite, or just your paranoid prosecution complex?
