Most Scientists are Atheists

Any evidence for this claim? Numbers on the table.

"Any evidence for this claim? Numbers on the table."

Surveys vary. At best, 60 percent of scientists are atheists. At worst, 93 percent are. Depends on which stats you believe. But no one seriously doubts that a majority of scientists don't believe in God. In college, my old Chemistry prof confirmed that most of his colleages were atheists. While there are some prominent nobel-winning scientists that believe in God, professional science increasingly ridicules anyone who does.
