    You presented the argument that “religion has to be anti-science”. Finding a non-insignificant number of scientists that are religious disproves that. It does not matter where they came from, but here’s another study that polls 8 different countries:

    https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023116664353

    The lowest % that identifies with some religious affiliation is France at 30%. That’s significantly more than the 0% one would expect from your statement “Religion has to be anti-science” because if it was all religion that was anti-science you wouldn’t find any overlap at all.

    Edit: This is my fault. I’m trying to use studies and science to discredit someone’s firmly held personal beliefs. Something I just said is a waste of time.
