More fundamental the science, the less there are religious people. General 
Relativity is may be the summit in this domain. The best living mind here, 
Pr. Kip S. Thorn, comes from a fundamentalist religious familly. He has lost 
all of that inheritance. Close behind GR comes quantum mechanics and 
cosmological QM. The best mind here is the very mediatised Pr. Stephen 
Hawkings. Read his brief history of time to have a taste of how he "use" god 
:-)

I have said that before: Religion is a sinking ghost ship. Don't send rescue 
ship, only torpedoes are in order.

If I know something I make it public ( I accept no knowledge with strings), 
if someone in the religious domain think there is some value here, well they 
can use it... Don't ask for my perspiration for the profit of any religion.

Nothing forbid you to build one. The first in hell will wait the other.
