Religion is often seen as antithetical to science; but just because one does not believe in the existence of a God has no bearing on whether or not they subscribe to a scientific theory: the Creation vs. Evolution conflict is non existent for them because they don't believe in God. If they want an explanation for how life came to be, it's probable that they would believe in evolution and other rational concepts.
No. There have been atheists around for as long as history, and they pre-date the theory of evolution. There were Roman atheists and Greek atheists. Bhudda was an atheist (or at least agnostic) and he certainly would have never heard of the theory.That said: evolution is the only theory which most matches all the evidence. Anyone who understands how theories work must, when examining the different theories, conclude that evolution is most likely to be true. There simply isn't any evidence to support Creationism (otherwise known as "Intelligent Design"), and there are no competing scientific theories which match the evidence as well as evolution does.
Many educated Christians also believe in the theory of evolution, for the same reason.
Note: this does not mean that evolution is true. It could yet be shown to be wrong (though that is highly unlikely). It just means that it is the only explanation which fits all the known facts, and consistently makes predictions which come true. Should evidence be found which disproves it, then most atheists will abandon it the same way any disproven theory should be abandoned by objective people.

Is it correct to say that most atheists are evolutionists?
The term, "Evolutionist" is slightly incorrect and misleading. The usage is almost exclusively coined by Creationists to imply that Evolution isn't a verifiable science, but a religion. It would be more correct to say that most Atheists subscribe to the theory of evolution, as the most probable proccess of how we all became who we are today.

Where do evolutionists believe you go when you die?
Nowhere. Evolutionists who do not believe in the idea that man has a soul, do not believe that a person goes anywhere after death, but that once the person dies, he or she ceases to exist. There are of course some who are evolutionists and who do believe in the existence of the soul.One can only assume that by "evolutionist" you mean people who have concluded that the theory of evolution is a good explanation for the development of life on earth. However, these people are not uniform with respect to beliefs such as religion, heaven, or god, so that your question cannot be answered. What, did you imagine that only atheists accepted evolution?
