The majority of scientists in the USA are people of faith.

lol, lol, lol Where did you get these statistics? And what "faith" exactly?lol, lol

Having worked in various scientific laboratories, I can personally attest that about 1 in 1000 believed in God, and if you did dare say that you did, you were looked at as mentally defective, which really is what scientists and other elites think about believers

Maybe that applies to the ‘lab rat’ scientists, but I too am a scientist (geologist), a Christian, and most of my colleagues are also people of faith (I would estimate 80%). I really hate being lumped in with the atheists and communists just because of a career choice.

Having personally worked in numerous scientific laboratories, I can attest that the majority are people of faith, including my three most influential scientific mentors (Two Roman Catholic, one Eastern Orthodox).

As to where I got the stats...

Study from Rice University. Defined “scientist” as a professor at an “elite University” and found that 2/3rds believe in God. I would think that among scientists working at private labs, rather than associated with “elite universities”, one would find an even higher incidence of belief.
