You mistake an assessment of reality that science has made with what scientist do in their normal lives based on that assessment. You also assumes once an assessment is made, science becomes like a religion and turns that assessment into dogma impervious to further assessment.
Science has hitherto found the god hypothesis to be without merit. So that informs what scientists do in their roles as part of human society. If tomorrow upon gathering of more information the god hypothesis becomes viable again, scientists will act accordingly in their social roles as well. Granted, if such a dramatic change were to occur, the process of verifying the validity of the change and digesting its effects would take a while. But that pertains to the pace of the practical operation of science, not the overall manner of its operation.
