Fake news.

Historical scientists generally were publicly religious because society was pretty harsh on "Heretics", and also, because academic institutions were often intertwined with religious bodies and they essentially wouldn't have been able to fund their careers if they were openly non-religious or agnostic.

If you're talking about more modern scientists you are also misinformed. Many have expressed a general belief in a creator / spirituality surrounding "the universe" but, again, endlessly, AGAIN, this is not the same thing as following an organised religion. Belief in an "unknown" god is not necessarily illogical. Following a human religious doctrine is.

You might be referring to the very common misconception that Einstein was a Christian. He was not. This generally comes from his "God does not play dice" type comments. Einstein was an agnostic and having just looked it up, he eloquently states my exact thinking on the issue:

The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations.

Ultimate . Human religions seek to explain a concept that is so far beyond human comprehension that we can't even begin to contemplate it, let alone explain it. Human religion is borne of fear of the unknown, and arrogance.
