Besides, you're misrepresenting the sentiment that rob was expressing; "Religion stunts science," is not the same as "there are no religious scientists," so proving the latter wrong doesn't even address the former.
Saying religion stunts science is your subjective opinion. Do you have any objective evidence?
If religion does attempt to stunt science, then objectively it is failing miserably, as the stats I posted above attest to.
