One thousand people were questioned from professions linked to science with thirteen per cent saying they practised a religious faith and eighteen per cent saying they were non practicing religious.
Around 25 per cent said they were atheist suggesting scientists are more likely to be religious than atheist.
A quarter of respondents said science and religion were contradictory but just under half said the two cannot be compared as they refer to different things.
Speaking to Premier about the findings, Professor Keith Fox, from the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion said: "I don't see a conflict between the two.
"Science itself is fairly neutral as to whether there is or isn't a God.
"It's a wonderful world that we live in - science is privileged to explore it but there's limits to what it can do and what it can say."
