and are actively using evolutionary arguments to promote atheism. Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Jerry Coyne, Francis Crick, Carl Sagan, Lynn Margulis, Ernst Mayr, William Provine, Edmund Wilson are a few names. No one ever disputes what they are doing as over-reaching. They are never told that both God and evolution is possible.

If they don't believe in God they are hardly likely to (and are not required to) say "God and evolution could both be right".

If they actually say "God does not exist", then they are not making a scientific statement, and they should be considered to have no more weight or authority than anyone else stating an opinion on the same issue. "God does not exist" is about as scientific as "spaghetti and meatballs is the best dish ever". Its their opinion. In fact its probably even less scientific. Any statement they make about liking some food is probably at least based on some empirical observation.
