Religion is based upon faith and belief in the Divine and (hopefully) living by a moral code. Science is based upon hypotheses and the quest for proof of the physical and (hopefully) living by ethical scientific practices. Both have always had and always will have their own values, strengths and weaknesses, good seeds and bad apples, flaws and biases. It is called being "human."
Just like the overall world population statistics, there are more religious scientists (including medical and mental health research scientists and practitioners) than there are atheist scientists -- in spite of the continued myth/hypothesis/wives' tale that that the two can't coincide. It is like saying you can't have an id and an ego or are either always good or always evil. Humans miraculously are a very versatile, variable, and adaptable species with the ability to separate their profession/work from their private/family lives as well as to live by their personal and religious moral and ethical values/code/beliefs and able to apply them to how they act in both their work and personal lives.
