I studied quite a bit of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in my engineering curriculum, and I don’t recall a single mention of religion.

Science is not anti-God or pro-God. Any academic category that opposes faith in God is science falsely so called (I Tim 6:21).

Scientific “personalities” tend to do the “public” scientific opposition to religion these people are busy being “public scientists”. The job of “public scientist” is easier then doing real scientific work, has better hours, probably pays better, and preening to the glow of the media certainly is ego gratifying.
In my scientific & engineering career I have met very few militant atheist scientists or engineers. (In fact my personal mentors were quite religious taught Sunday school one was a Lutheran & the other a Baptist.) I met more of those in the arts & the literature cadre of the academic world. Many of those have a huge chip on their shoulder and are as about as willfully ignorant as can be! I think they have the “chip” because deep down I think they know that what they do is “bunk”.
I agree with Skepokitic you can go thorough an entire science (even in geology) and/or engineering curriculum from BS to PhD and not come out an atheist. If you do you were probably one when you started.
