"By your reasoning, you must be an atheist to be intelligent."

Whew, straw man much?

If you are unaware of the fact that the great lion's share of working theoretical physicists are atheists, or at best agnostics, I'm not sure what planet you're living on. If a Catholic University elected to not hire people not of faith, they would have science departments that could not compete with secular schools. That's the reality.

What does it profit a man
To gain the whole world,
And lose his soul.

It is very difficult for any student let alone a Catholic school student to listen daily to the best minds in the science world, and remain in the faith?

If you knew your child would become the best in his field, but lose his faith, would you really want that?

Or maybe faith just isn’t a positive for you.
