Studies have been done and the results are that religious belief decreases with education levels. Scientists are well educated so it is reasonable to assume that scientists will have a greater tendency to be atheists, or agnostics, or just not care about the issue. The only groups concerned with the religious status of scientists seem to be theists and non-scientists. Technical people have a low track record of talking about religion among themselves.
The studies also indicate that the people in science do not become atheists because of their studies, but that they were not overly concerned with religion before enetering their field of study.(See Link)
Answer:
True. Most scientists are atheist, and religious belief does decrease as the level of education increases. Scientists can easily be considered the smartest type of people on Earth, because their knowledge reaches depths where the average human's won't. Although the exact statistic may change from one scientist to the other, based on their field of expertise, many scientists are atheist/skeptics because they know that there are other alternative answers to complicated questions, not just the ever-so-popular answer of "God did it!" That, however, does not mean that ALL scientists are atheist. There are still many scientists that embrace both science and religion. A recent study showed that this correlated with the way in which these scientists were brought up. It's more likely for a scientist to retain the beliefs of the household in which they were brought up in, e.g their parents.
Answer:
Yes, the vast majority of scientists are agnostic/atheist. The lowest percentage of scientists in a field being atheist is among social scientists (psychologists, anthropologists, etc.) and the highest percentage [which tops 90% in some fields] is among earth scientists (microbiologists, geologists, astrophysists, etc.).
Answer
About 93% of scientists of the National Academy of Sciences are non-believers, and a comparable number of the Royal Academy are non-believers.
