There is no atheist dogma, evolution and atheism are not related.
Yep.

Science is most certainly label independent. I've known atheists in the past who stop at "that doesn't make any sense" but don't do any research as to theists arguments or science. I've run into other atheists who have new age woo or believe in conspiracies like 9/11 and JFK.

"Atheist" only refers to one position on one claim. It doesn't denote class or education level. Scientific method is a tool, not a dogma or political party. The good thing when scientists use that tool ethically is that it is subject to scrutiny and adapts to change.
