purely atheistic science

There is no such thing. There are atheistic, and theistic, and all other variety of interpretations OF science. Science itself however is neutral apart from a minimal set of assumptions adopted for operational purposes (Occum's Razor, actualism or the uniformity of natural law, etc).

I hardly think it to be an "interpretation" of science to undertake it with the simple assumption God is outside of its purview or consideration. "Atheistic" is an adjective, and it applies to all science that is undertaken with the assumption God is forever and always outside of its purview. It is not a term or way of doing science that must necessarily be eschewed, but don't kid yourself into believing it is "neutral." Bullshot. Science is never neutral.
