“Most scientists today are not religious themselves” Hank Kerchief

Do you have a source for that assertion. Most Scientists in the U.S. are people of faith (roughly 2/3). This was from a survey of Scientists who are faculty members at “elite Universities”. I imagine (based entirely upon personal experience and the known bias of University faculty) the % among working Scientists is even higher.

Well yes, but you won’t like them:

Lots of sources there.

But it doesn’t really matter. No truth about anything (except the truth about what people say on a census) can be established on the basis of how many people believe something.

By the way, though I am an atheist, I find the statistics on the numbers of “anti-religious,” especially the “strongly anti-religious” very alarming. Totally disagreeing with something and being “anti-” something are totally different.
