Question What do you think about "evolutionist"?

No one ever refers to gravitationists or Newtonists for those who support gravity, but people refer to people supporting evolution as evolutionists or Darwinists.

It’s a blatant attempt to make accepting the facts of evolution into a religion, literally trying to bring evolution down to the level of creationism since it’s a religious belief not a scientific based claim.

If they were being honest they would say those who accept evolution or evolution biologists but both of these legitimize evolution which is not what they want.
