About This Quote

Scientists are a friendly, atheistic, hard-working, beer-drinking lot whose minds are preoccupied with sex, chess and baseball when they are not preoccupied with science. Scientists are typically not considered to be overtly religious. However, many scientists believe in God or some sort of higher power. They also enjoy the company of other scientists and often share ideas and information freely with them. While scientists may not be overtly religious, they still value their faith and the feeling of connectedness it brings them.
