I have read that up to 95% of scientists are athiests.

That is bull. Don't take a couple of noisy PhDs to represent the population.

"I have read that up to 95% of scientists are athiests."

It is commonly accepted that up to 95% of news columnists and journalists make stuff up.

Sounds like nonsense to me. What's your source for this, and what was their source?

Thank you for your comment. Now if you could just find that pesky thing called a reference to back it up. Rumor mongering is not particularly helpful in discussions here on science.

I seriously doubt that. And just as seriously, you should not find any place you read that to be credible.

"Up to"...lol. Sounds like you're a big Dawkins fan.

I take it you don't interact with many scientists on a day-to-day basis.
