To boil it down, practicing science requires the full acceptance of proven methodology to minimize and banish the impact of individual cognitive dissonance, and must be built upon a very substantial body of accummulated knowledge across several fields.
Religoin is cognitive dissonance, and can not survive systemic and thorough application of the proven methodology to banish cognitive dissonance. And religion teaches what our accumulated body has already shown to be inappropriate to assume to be true.
So the reason why there are so few christians in science is simply because science shows christianity to be not bullshit in itself, but also by design propagate a method of thinking utterly antithetical to truth finding.
