William Provine, to name one famous atheist:

“Evolution is the greatest engine of atheism ever invented.”

“Naturalistic evolution has clear consequences that Charles Darwin understood perfectly.
1) No gods worth having exist;
2) no life after death exists;
3) no ultimate foundation for ethics exists;
4) no ultimate meaning in life exists; and
5) human free will is nonexistent. “Evolution: Free will and punishment and meaning in life” 1998 Darwin Day “

Do you really want to start that whole concept? We need only find a handful of "famous Christians" who make quotes about all manner if things.

Science is silent on whether there is a God or not. It merely says that is it impossible to put supernaturalism into scientific research.

Even if more scientists are atheists than in the non-scientific population, there are still many scientists who are Christian (or Jewish or other theistic religious followers).

Your desire to paint those who understand science as somehow less devout than yourself is egotistical and rather pathetic.

I have mentioned this before and I do so now: The Catholic Church endorses TToE as God's way to create humans. Are you saying they are all Godless Atheists?
