Who says that? I would think that there are more christians who believe that evolution and creation can't co-exist than their are atheists who do so.
In good old europe most religious people have accepted evolution. On contrast in the US their are a lot of religious people who think they have to fight it, because it threatens their faith.

Yeah, I undertstand you're first point, I just don't think nowadays that it's fair that the word creationist is used mostly to describe people who don't believe in evolution. I would still think, however, that as many Christians who belive that creationism and evolution can't co-exist that there are, that there would still be more atheists who believe that the two can't co-exist mainly because they don't believe in God. Therefor it would be difficult to believe that we were created from a divine entity, when they don't believe in a divine entity in the first place, so they wouldn't believe in creation, and so therefor, would only believe in evolition, not accepting any co-existance.
Alot of people, that I talk to, who are more often the subjects to some of my points than not, are ones who tell me that I only belive that evolution and creationism can co-exist because I believe in God. Pesuedopositions are never subjected to just one side of the agument, but both, but sometimes it's presented that way for the convienience of others. It's never subjected to just the so-called "uninformed", but also the so-called "informed". That's the point I was really trying to make, but I don't really think that the views of those people necessarily represent the views of other similar ideologies that people may have.
