Article summary is incorrect. The author does not propose that all scientists be militant atheists.
Also any scientist worth their salt eliminates no hypothesis consistent with the data, and thus cannot eliminate the hypothesis that there is a supreme being capable of constructing the results of all experiments to cloak its existence (this is a very improbable hypothesis, of course, but that's not a justification for formally rejecting it).
