Ever heard of Argumentum ad populum ?
It's understandable that a proficient scientist finds christianity unconvincing, many of its core doctrines are extremely silly and simply too hard to swallow (God resurrecting Himself, having a Son, etc.) even for someone who tolerates belief without evidence.
Add that to the fact that deism is untenable, because believing in an impersonal God doesn't have any implications.
Christianity aside, Abdus Salam is one counter-example I can think of. He is an Ahmadi Muslim and a Nobel Prize laureate.
