And since you cite an extract from a survey by Lemba - he surveyed a select group of scientists and cannot represent scientists in general because he failed to screen a correct statistical crosssection. Cherry pick your survey sources - you get skewed results.
Of course - if it makes you feel better to cling to skewed poll results - what ever floats your boat. However, doesn’t make the observation any more valid as better studies show otherwise.
Are you suggesting everything in Wikipedia is "dishonest"?

There are plenty of sources on the Internet which show otherwise. Statistics show that atheists in general tend to be well educated, rather knowledgeable about the Bible, white, male, etc., so it is not surprising most scientists are in that broad atheism/agnosticism category as compared to general population in the United States, where the samples were taken. Saying that most scientists are atheists or agnostics, word wide, is even more certain than in the narrow American sample.

And you don't? What makes your sources, or you particularly, more "reliable" or "honest" than the rest?

That can be generally said abaut any one-soded point of view, whether it is political, rleigious, what have you.
You still didn't tell me what is your field of expertise as a scientist.
