science & atheism : unrequited love !!

In my discussions with atheists, I've noticed that no one is more confident in science and the scientific method than they are. This confidence borders on scientism; in any case, they see it as an alternative to religion. But... is the relationship between atheism and science really so rosy? We can easily observe that:

1- the founding axioms of science are closer to monotheism. I'm not saying that science proves the existence of God... but assuming that the same laws apply everywhere implies that creation is ONE. Follow my line of thought!

2 - Most great scientists were believers: Pascal in mathematics, Newton and Ibn Haytham in physics, ibn hayyan and Mandeleiv in chemistry, Jenner in pharmacology. I'm not talking about a brilliant university professor like Hawking, but the luminaries who changed the course of scientific history.

3 - The Christian church has been accused of slowing down the progress of science, which is relatively true, but other religions haven't done so (Judaism, Islam, Hinduism). However, during the short life of the USSR, we saw the emergence of "state scientists" who prioritized ideology over truth. I don't know if you're familiar with the Lysenko case?

My conclusion is that the relationship between atheism and science is a one-sided love affair. Prove me wrong!
