Freeman Dyson, Donald Knuth, and Larry Wall might all disagree.

  Oh shit, you namedropped 3 people. Guess you must be right, all engineers are religious.

    Definitely not trying to claim that straw man. I'm not religious so there's a disproof of your statement. GP said that being in STEM virtually excludes one from being religious. I just wanted to give three prominent counter-examples. I'm simply saying that they're likely not as rare as one might think. I've known many religious engineers first hand, and often times they can leave their faith at the door when they work.

      You are trying to make another one straw man. I said too deeply. Every engineer worthy of that name - lets say that when religion contradicts with facts or science - they usually trust the later. And from what I have observed in all my friends in engineering and science - when there is religion - it is on the backburner. Not nonexistent.
