There's a difference. Religious people are hostile against us because of stories in a book written many centuries ago about a magical man.
Scientists are hostile against close minded people who take some words in a magical book as fact, with equal or greater validity then the work of many thousands of scientists over multiple centures, many spending their entire lives working on this exact issue.
Don't misunderstand. There is bigotry on both sides. However the side of science is right, religion is wrong.
