it's a different story today, very few scientists born after 1950 are religious. One of the possible reasons is that scientific discovery and lack of evidence of the supernatural is moving us away from theism, or there is a world wide conspiracy of brainwashing in academia, which fits nicely into a schizophrenic world view. You don't necessarily need a smooth brain for religion, but it certainly helps.
