I encourage you to read/listen/watch the work od David Berlinsky, which is a agnostic like you, but one of the strongest minds oposing the new antitheism of Dawkins and Chris Hitchens (RIP). You will be surprised. Also, check it out EXPELLED, a entire movie about the same issue you broght up.
I know proselitism is unconfortable and evangelism is most of the time unrequited, so I assure you these are nothing of the sort.

I encourage you to read this deep analysis of the movie's claims and evidence: http://www.counterbalance.org/expelled/index-frame.html
FYI, the writer is Christian and used to be a high level Intelligent Design advocate, but has since abandoned it. The part that seems most relevant to what you were talking about is his examination of the claims of academic censure and blackballing of people who questioned evolution or proposed intelligent design. He assessed one case as being totally without merit; in another case any repercussions were minor at worst and more like not being invited to office parties; and in the third case he reckoned that the guy's application for tenure might indeed have been affected, but there were also other factors.

Oh yes, of course I know about the rebuttals and refutations EXPELLED got. That was a powerful documentary, if it went unchallenged it could change the mind of many people, specialy youngsters seduced by their evolutionist teachers.
Every single good thing will be refuted by the evil it denounces. And every single evil thing will be opposed by a little source of good.
Does not matter, as long as the message reaches a few ears still capable of hearing.
