I don't think god belief is any where near as big an impediment to science as certainty is. It is motivated, willful assumptions based on our personal preferences which impede discovery. Of course god belief itself seems pretty motivated and willful, but for some at least it doesn't seem to get in the way of doing good science. Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Heisenberg seem to have done okay and were allegedly religious. But I do wonder just how these guys held their religious beliefs.
