You're forgetting the fact that it was prophesied that people will mock God in the final days before He returns to prove them all wrong. The root cause of the problem is that atheists, throughout the centuries, have sought to substantiate Atheism through many means, but were always unsuccesful until Darwin's theory came about. As Dawkins wrote on page 10 of the blind watchmaker: "Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist." The problem isn't creationism; sure, creationists help keep the divide alive, but the divide itself was created by those who oppose the existence of God. Creationists are simply those who are still fighting the good fight where truth of God matters more than abandoning it to conform to the majority opinion (of the deceived).

People have appealed to science to oppose religion for the longest time. Creationism, as a concept, has also been around for a very long time. In fact, even the concept of evolution is just an ancient pagan argument placed in a modern jacket. There are ancient writings from early Christians who refuted these exact ideas way back in their time. For example, Theophilus of Antioch already stated that those who believed that we come from the stars are fools.
It's true that many scientists were religious until the last century. That changed because of Darwinism and the philosophy of reason (Reason was deified before atheism could be sustained through Darwinism).

Nowaday it's considered to be bad for your career to be religious, because people judge you as gullible and stupid, and that is not the fault of creationists. In the eyes of many, any form of belief apart from materialism is superstition. So the root cause once more isn't the creationists. The real problem is the belief that every smart person should be above religious conviction. It has nothing to do with creationists. For example, people love Jordan Peterson, and most of his videos feature at least one top comment from a guy stating something along the lines of, "I love that he is so intelligent, but how does he not apply his immense wisdom to religion and reject it?", which already reveals the notion that many people have about religion being something that no smart person should engage in.

You've been deceived into thinking that science is objective. After all, how can science be objective if it is an attempt to confirm the preconceived notion of naturalism. Creationists should be honored; not blamed and insulted. If you want to engage me, then I can also point out why the pseudoscience that Creationists oppose is really far-fetched and merely an attempt to sustain scientific atheism. Evolution is a fairy tale. Creationists are simply blamed by other Christians who, in fulfillment of 2nd Timothy chapter 3, want to appease others because they've succumbed to social pressure.
