Science, unlike other academic fields, is not just a body of knowledge but also a methodology for discovering and classifying knowledge. The scope of science encompasses all physical phenomena, but there is more for scientists to study than the material world and natural processes. Science falls under two scopes: natural science, dealing with the physical, natural world, and social science, dealing with society and human nature.
People who study science are called scientists, and many of them are atheists, however many prominent ones are quite relegious, often hindus or arabs. yea, if you don't like algebra, blame a muslim.
However, most early scientists, who started many, scientific fields, and some of history's greatest thinkers, such as Isaac Newton, charles darwin* and Albert Einstein, believed in God, or some other higher power, if they were not actually creationists. A lot of the greats today however are not christian, but believers of other relegions. e.g. hinduism.
