We see there is zero difference besides changed names.
Among the greatest minds it is hard to find true atheists, even though they typically have a personal and not easy to describe faith. [Newton](newton.md) was a Christian. [Einstein](einstein.md) often used the word "[God](god.md)" instead of "nature" or "universe"; even though he said he didn't believe in the traditional personal God, he also said that the laws of physics were like books in a library which must have obviously been written by someone or something we can't comprehend. [Nikola Tesla](tesla.md) said he was "deeply religious, though not in the orthodox sense". There are also very hardcore religious people such as [Larry Wall](larry_wall.md), the inventor of [Perl](perl.md) language, who even planned to be a Christian missionary. The "true atheists" are mostly second grade "scientists" who make career out of the pose and make living by writing books about atheism rather than being scientists.
There is a famous quote (sometimes attributed to Werner Heisenberg, accuracy of which is questioned) stating that "The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you". Whoever said it, it captures the reality of the situation: in our society obsessed with shallow worship of [soyence](soyence.md) most people only ever take the first sip (through mass media, Internet, "science popularization" etc.), and so most end up remaining atheists. A few manage to drink a bit more and become agnostic, but by definition only a tiny minority of the smartest get near the very bottom of the glass. Indeed, among greatest minds it is hard to find true atheists, even though they typically have a personal and not easy to describe faith, they tend to think for themselves and by this usually reject consuming prepackaged religion, but the more convincing it is then that they independently arrive at accepting some kind of God -- it is because truly deeply engaging in rational thinking for one's whole life inevitably reveals there ARE limits to the rational: greatest thinkers stand at the very top of where humans can get with their thinking and then witness that still there are things they will never know, and the only thing remaining beyond is faith. [Newton](newton.md) for example was a Christian and [Einstein](einstein.md) often used the word "[God](god.md)" instead of "nature" or "universe"; even though he said he didn't believe in the traditional personal God, he also said that the laws of physics were like books in a library which must have obviously been written by someone or something we can't comprehend. Obviously: science is rational and works, but who made it so? This can never be answered by science itself. [Nikola Tesla](tesla.md) said he was "deeply religious, though not in the orthodox sense". There are also very hardcore religious people such as [Larry Wall](larry_wall.md), the inventor of [Perl](perl.md) language, who even planned to be a Christian missionary -- as hinted above, this is not rare in him believing in God, but rather in accepting a kind of "mainstream" faith. The "true atheists" are mostly second grade "scientists" (often called "science promoters") who make career out of the pose and make living by writing books about atheism rather than being scientists.
