A lot of past scientists like Isaac Newton and Nikola Tesla were religious. 

They only “clash” if you let it.

A lot of past everyone was religious. The only way to get money for research was to join the church. The church was also notorious for executing people who went against their beliefs (Galileo) and many world governments would literally just kill you for being atheist. ATM only 33% of scientists believe in God (pewresearch) while 93% of the world population is currently not atheist/agnostic.
