That's complete BS, just because someone believes that science is real (only idiots think it isnt) doesn't make them not believe the idea of a higher power. for example the renaissance, a time of innovation and realism, most people think that greats such as da vinci or brunelleschi were atheist because of their ideas, brunelleschi was deemed crazy because of his building "method", in reality they believed in god, just because someone believes science doesn't mean that they are deniers of divine powers.
