Don't let the definition of someone be your reality.
Always suggestions should meet your thoughts and testing before assimilation.
Before Senior High School, my mom strongly opposed the idea of me reading science for the reason that friends told her scientists say there is no God.
Some go to an extent of saying that no scientist will go to heaven because scientists don't even believe in the existence of God how much more the existence of the heavens.
Really?
Her fear grew strongly and suddenly believed in their words. All she started seeing was a future monster who would change to a different deity from the dimension she had desired for her lovely son.
Imagining my son violating all the laws of God and one day use his own mother for scientific study. Finally, he would turn wayward and become useless to our society.

Little knowledge is more dangerous than being completely ignorant.
Science its been the study of nature and nature constituting everything therein man's environment and everything created by God. If this so, where is it stated that scientists say there is no God? Who says there is no God? Do we all reason the same or have the same cultural values?
DO NOT LET THE PERCEPTION OF SOMEONE BE YOUR PERCEPTION WHEN YOU CAN NOT PERCEIVE WHAT HE HAS PERCEIVED.
Not only been able to have your say in situations like this but also inability to convince with facts, examples or referrences. Today, however, I can. You can too. We can whenever we encounter this within and without our sphere of life. In your little way don't let the suggestions of others bury your passion or the passion of others.
The renowned scientist, Sir Francis Bacon, who founded the Scientific method never doubted the existence of God and that he stated and I quote;
God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion. For while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them, confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity.”

In summation to the above, I will bring to light the words of Francis Collins. From his words, you would understand that acknowledging the handiworks of Nature, studying his creation and those singing songs of praises and calling God adorable names all means nothing but WORSHIP.
“I have found there is a wonderful harmony in the complementary truths of science and faith. The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. God can be found in the cathedral or in the laboratory. By investigating God’s majestic and awesome creation, science can actually be a means of worship".
So I Pause To Ask, How Can One Worship What He Doesn't Believe In?

It should be understood that calling Him; God, Omniponent, Yaweh, Jehovah, Mighty Force, Deity, Energy, Law of Cause-and-Effect, Nature, Higher Self or by any other title doesn't change Him. It is the Same Power.
It is alegorical to the one calling an earthworm a snake. Its reality doesn't alter. However, it deceives and that is why we should resort to using our autosuggestion power.
A scientist is not an atheist but an atheist can be a scientist. It, however, should not be generalized that scientists are atheists. This should be known in order to combact that misconception "scientists say there is no God"

I do not support or against atheists or atheism but I against the conceptualization people have on the aforementioned highlighted clause.
THANKS FOR READING, COMMENTING, UPVOTING AND RESTEEMING.
It is really true that in as much as people think scientist are atheist they should also know that there are a lot of scientists who by them getting much into science the got to know that greatness and wonders of God.
Thanks for your input@kester282
