Scientists before Christ
Question: why is it significant that many scientists are atheists. (It would have been just as accurate to say "many scientists are Christians/Jews/Buddhists/" etc.) [[User:DLerner|DLerner]] 12:21, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

: The significance would be that their atheism colours their science, such as rejecting God as a possible explanation of how we came to be. And I don't think that it would be "just" as accurate to say that many scientists are Buddhists. Some religions have greater representation than others. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
