No, of course not. Evolution is a scientific explanation for the changes that took place over millions of years to result in life as we know it today. Science is not an object of worship. You have confused it with religious belief.

Atheists do not "worship" evolution, because evolution is science, not religion.

Religion is opinions and beliefs, with no facts or evidence, which in turn has caused conflict, war and genocide. People worship religion.
Science is facts, evidence and discoveries, with limitless scientific data, which in turn has led to cures for diseases, space travel and so on. People support science.

In fact, even multiple Popes have declared that evolution is real. For example, Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II and the more recent Pope Francis.

You don't have to be atheist to support scientific discoveries. Many scientists are also religious people, they just adapted their unproven beliefs to be consistent with factual scientific findings, like Pope Francis (who has a science degree).

As worship is defined as "the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity." and evolution isn't a deity and atheists don't believe there are deities, no.

Does Bill Donohue of the Catholic League assume all Atheists are Devil Worshipers?

Bill Donohue holds atheists in considerable contempt, but it is unlikely that he genuinely believe they worship the devil. However, he has called on atheists to apologise for the crimes of Adolf Hitler, conveniently forgetting that Hitler was a Catholic, not an atheist. Donohue presumably realises that worship of the devil would require belief in the supernatural, and therefore anyone who did worship the devil could not be an atheist.

Are there any more atheists and agnostics who are critics of evolution besides David Berlinski and Bradley Monton?

Undoubtedly there would be atheists and agnostics who criticise the Theory of Evolution.

So, there is no necessary correlation between a person's understanding of the supernatural and his or her understanding of science.

What are some atheist worldviews?

Atheism is not an organised movement, in the way that a religion would be. It is simply the belief that no god exists, or at least that there is no reason to believe that a god exists. Beyond that, different atheists are free to hold such worldviews as they wish. However, there are some secondary beliefs that most atheists would probably subscribe to by not believing in a creator god. If, as atheists believe, there is no God, then the world and all living things were not divinely created. This does not necessarily lead on to believing in evolution, but evolution is the most rational belief for most atheists. So, although it is not necessary to be an atheist to believe in evolution (many religious people also believe in evolution), most atheists would see evolution as part of their worldview. Atheists have no reason to believe that a great flood covered the entire world, or even just the entire Middle East, a few thousand years ago. Nor would they see a rainbow as a message from God. Atheists who have studied elementary science would see the rainbow as no more than a sprectum of light, created in the clouds in just the same way as a rainbow can be created by a prism. Atheists do not believe that the world is destined to end soon. They believe that, barring a nuclear war, the world will continue for millions of years to come.


Is it true that only atheists accept the theory of evolution?

No. Many theists, including Christians, believe that evolution occurred. Belief in some sort of god and belief in evolution are not mutually exclusive. Some even believe evolution was guided by some divine entity such as God.
