First up I'm an atheist. Really weird to see people admit to blatantly discriminating against people who have a religion. In the UK what you're describing is unlawful. > but the indications I get from those statements are that this individual ultimately hasn't progressed very far intellectually or challenged their beliefs strongly enough. I fear it is a limiting mindset, Can you see that here you're doing exactly what you describe people with a faith of doing? You're not examining nor challenging your beliefs. You'll say that you haven't met many scientists who also have a faith, but you're not examining why people with faith don't want to tell you about it, and how that factors into your confirmation bias.

  You could hire someone as a way to challenge your beliefs. My best guess: people are really bad at generalising someone's aptitude in one area to another. It's a common joke in academia actually, where obviously and genuinely intelligent people failing to manage basic tasks is common. So, assuming you are correct in estimating their aptitude towards picking a religion/lack of (I'll say nothing either way), it'll generalise poorly to their aptitude as a developer.
