      I would say I’m slightly religious. It absolutely doesn’t affect my work – a lot of my friends in science are religious, and a lot of atheist. We are all in absolute agreement that science and religion doesn’t have to be completely separate, and that being religious/not religious doesn’t change anything. It’s your beliefs, and you are completely entitled to them.

      I am Catholic but it doesnt get in the way at all with my work :). Being religious and doing science is not mutually exclusive!
      .
      At the end of the day believe whatever gives you a sense of happiness and completion (which in my case both science and the community aspect of religon gives me).
