Sorry, that bs. The physics community used to have a large number of Diests. It doesn't now.
Atheism is correct because you cannot prove god, there is no proof. None. Zippo. If there was a hint of proof all of science and all atheist would be Diests.
No, there aren't many deists, but there are quite a number of theists. In fact a recent poll states that 40 percent of physicists, biologists and mathematicians believe in a God who answers prayers.

Looks like quite a number of physicists feel there is some proof after all.
