It's a big, fat myth that all scientists are religion-hating atheists

[Meshuga]

68. And atheist an theist can co-exist in the same congregation

Judaism is a great example of that since certain belief is not a focus of the religion. You could have a reform Jew who believes in a personal God and an Orthodox Jew who sees god as an abstract idea which would probably be considered atheistic in the Christian concept. My grandfather was an example of the latter. He was an orthodox rabbi who did all the religious stuff but one would consider him as being non-theistic when it came to a personal god idea that most think of when the word "god" is uttered.

The whole thing regarding religion and theism is pretty complex but many times simplified in discussions because we all tend to assume according with our own experiences and background. And because of that, we have people talking past each other.
