Most great physicists were and are religious, though not
necessarily formally so.  Certainly both Newton and Einstein
were.  The clockwork universe of classical physics, which both
Newton and Einstein believed in,
was developed after the Northern European theologians declared
that free will did not exist.  It is fascinating to think that
the form of physical theories was derived from religious
considerations.  Of course, it may also be wrong.  Any scholars
like to take up the argument?
