I do believe in God, I'm a christian, I go to church usually 3-4 times a week (because I want, not because the church requires it or any rules) and I'm a very technical person, software developer and I'm also very into astronomy and physics.
When you say "around 99% tech people I know in-person do not believe in God", this may be biased based on your location. For example, my country (Brazil) is predominantly catholic. So, I'd say around 99% of people in tech I know believe in god in some sense.
There is a huge misconception, mainly in the US, with this evolutionist vs creationist thing where a correlation was created where evolutionists are mostly atheists, and believers are mostly creationists, so there must be a "clear distinction" between people that understand science and people that believe in some kind of god.
IMHO even great speakers like Neil DeGrasse Tyson fail epicly doing the same thing they complain about creationists, they reject arguments of anything related to God in a very unscientific way: "oh, so you believe in God? so there is an old guy floating in the clouds? so his special ability is to turn water into beverages" - How is this different from believing that, as Carl Sagan said, there are dinosaurs on venus? It is just making up a lot of assumptions out of nothing.
