The "myth" that he's apparently debunking is the notion that with a rise in scientific progress, the rate of belief among scientists will drop. Is this a clever manipulation of facts which clearly show that with the rise of education, belief rates drop significantly?
He's referencing the Larson survey here.
Regardless wither or not this is true, the theological challenge science poses to religion still exists. Religions did not change their theology readily to accommodate scientific revelation, it was forced on them by the sheer weight of scientific revelation.
With the track record of science, it is no wonder why a lot of scientists have abandoned belief in god. Indeed these days it is very hard to be religiously orthodox and be studying a number of disciplines (namely psychology, neurology, genetics, biology, cosmology, etc).
