ALL of these people embraced science and were devoutly religious (the above list is necessarily incomplete).
And on and on and on.

When I was in the Navy I couldn't put "none" in the "Religion" box. I wonder how many people on your list were in the same position.
For the ones I was able to research, their religion seemed to be part and parcel of them, not merely a label. Faraday, for instance, was deacon and elder of his church, and refused a knighthood on religious grounds. Pascal wrote in favour of religion frequently (he was part of a Catholic splinter group whose name escapes me). Babbage was a vociferous defender of divine revelation, miracles, and the argument from design. And so on.
