I mean, it's 2 different fields. Science is the study of the physical world around us. That doesn't mean the person who studies the world can't also go to church on sundays and believe in God. "Secular humanism", based on your definition, sounds like it actually opposes belief in God.

No! Only in that we seek earthly solutions to earthly problems. A believer can join in an earthly approach to a problem - such as finding a cure for a disease - then go to church a pray for gods help. On an earlier thread you mentioned Lemaitre and the Big Bang. I would also include Martin Luther King. He advocated for changing minds, laws, and morality. He did not advocate for angels coming to our rescue. His "letter from a Birmingham Jail" is one of the greatest humanist treatise ever written:
