Scientists Are More Religious Than You Think

In his book Star Struck: Seeing the Wonder of the Creator in the Cosmos, astronomy professor and committed Christian, David Hart Bradstreet writes:

Is God calling you to be a scientist? That's not for me to say. Just make sure you don't let anyone tell you that all scientists are "godless scientists." Godly scientists are everywhere, as a recent survey by the American Association for the Advancement of Science shows.

AAAS found that nearly 36 percent of scientists have no doubts about God's existence, 18 percent of scientists attended weekly religious services (compared with 20 percent of the rest of us), and 15 percent of scientists consider themselves very religious (compared with 19 percent of the general population).
