Wherever things are hard to figure out, it has to be some kind of magic that’s the cause, right? Little by little superstition has been shown to be the wrong answer to life’s many questions.
Anyway, Einstein was an atheist by any modern standard. The others lived in a time where it was DANGEROUS to admit anything other than total obedience to the church. There was no one else that could be a scientist that we would have heard of, other than someone that at least paid lip service to the church.
Even now it is dangerous and career/income limiting to be known as non-religious. Most of us are smart enough not to even raise the subject.
