According to the Rice study that MSN cited less than 30% of the scientists they talked to said they did not believe in God. They reported that roughly two thirds (66%) did believe in God.

Thus according to the Rice study the majority of American scientists are people of faith in God - just as I said.

Just because MSN cited the Rice study doesn't make the Rice study circumspect - it was just the first citation I found when looking; blame Google.

Care to address the obvious selection bias in picking politically active scientists from a particular group and and claiming they speak for or are representative of all scientists?

Again, there is a difference between “faith in God” and; belief in God, a belief in a higher power, or being spiritual.
