Of course, Newton wasn't in a vacuum, but he continued on the works of Kepler and Copernicus. And also, there was that Glorious Revolution in England which made it safer for freethinkers since it was no longer consumed with religious infighting.
All perfectly true, but it doesn’t support the notion that science and theism are incompatible.
And, for the record, Kepler and Copernicus were both deeply religious.
