If it were, yes, ppl who dislike religious evangelism shld also be opposed to attempts to convince doubters of global warming or evolution.

Atheists don't have proof of absence of God. We have pretty good evidence for both global warming & evolution. I don't understand your point

The point is that ppl can feel positively about trying to convince others of things with evidence & negatively when its things without.

Of what? God? No. Not enough to justify a belief in one.

Belief isn't based on evidence though it can fuel the search for evidence. As it has done for many great scientific endeavours.

Science can start with a hypothesis that something is true but then it tries to falsify it & if hypothesis not upheld, truth claim rejected.

Provisionally, at least. Thing might still be true but until shown to be so, need to not claim it is.

Agree. Although you can still believe something is true even if you don't claim it to be a proven truth.

Yes & this is intellectually honest. I do not know whether this is true but I believe it to be.
