Biologos is an evangelical christian organisation which advocates "theistic evolution". The biologos article reported that about half of all scientists working in "elite" US universities were non-religious, compared to 14% of the general population. Also that only 4% of scientists were evangelical Christians compared to 28% of the population.

Probably because inorder for one to be considered a legit 'scientist' one must renounce God. Otherwise one's efforts in the field of science are quickly dissmiss on general principle and the theist/scientist is not counted as a 'true scotsman.' I mean scientist, and therefore are omitted from poles like the ones you referenced.
