That's not to say that since scientists haven't been believers. They couldn't help it. The Roman Catholic church was the government for millennia. So some scientists, like Giordano Bruno, were burn at the stake for claiming the earth wasn't the center of the universe. The microscope prove him right, and the church wrong.
So faith in God, in the past, has greatly limited the understanding of the universe ... sorry to say.
