Most great scientists have not been atheists. Many early modern great scientists, like Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and Robert Boyle (1627-1691) were Christians. Up until the 20th century, most scientists have held standard or non-standard religious, mostly Christian, beliefs. In the last hundred years or so, the sciences have gone through a process of secularization, which has produced many great scientists, who are atheists. However, some great scientists are still religious.
