That is a blanket overgeneralization that is completely unwarranted.
You are maintaining that those with faith cannot be scientists because
their faith would cloud their vision of evidence. In so doing, you are
dismissing any scientist who is not also an atheist. Is this really
what you would claim?

I happen to know some excellent, religious physicists.  Never noticed
their faith interfering with their science in any way.


Or vice versa?
In one of his stories Arthur Clarke asks "why are medical men such notorious atheists?"
I've already posted a reason why that might be true, but is it really?
