There is much discussion about the percentages of scientists that are atheists vs the general public and/or whether it is possible to be both a Christian and a scientist. I found this speech by Henry F Schaefer III to be quite dispositive. Here was his concluding paragraph and following that the link.
There is a tremendous tradition of distinguished scientists who were and are Christians. I hope that my work is considered sufficiently outstanding to fall into the distinguished among that category. I also hope I have given you enough evidence that you will never again believe that it is impossible to be a scientist and a Christian.

By the way, he cites one study showing the same % of PHD scientists in church each week as the general public. (about 43%)
