title: Relationship between religion and science
text: Many studies have been conducted in the United States and have generally found that scientists are less likely to believe in God than are the rest of the population . Precise definitions and statistics vary , with some studies concluding that about ​ ⁄ of scientists in the U.S. ​ ⁄ are atheists , ​ ⁄ agnostic , and ​ ⁄ have some belief in God ( although some might be deistic , for example ) . This is in contrast to the more than roughly ​ ⁄ of the general population that believe in some God in the United States . Other studies on scientific organizations like the AAAS show that 51 % of their scientists believe in either God or a higher power and 48 % having no religion . Belief also varies slightly by field . Two surveys on physicists , geoscientists , biologists , mathematicians , and chemists have noted that , from those specializing in these fields , physicists had lowest percentage of belief in God ( 29 % ) while chemists had highest ( 41 % ) . Other studies show that among members of the National Academy of Sciences , concerning the existence of a personal god who answers prayer , 7 % expressed belief , 72 % expressed disbelief , and 21 % were agnostic , however Eugenie Scott argued that there are methodological issues in the study , including ambiguity in the questions . A study with simplified wording to include impersonal or non-interventionist ideas of God concluded that 40 % of leading scientists in the US scientists believe in a god .
