As someone who do not believe in some higher powers and live without god, I can not disagree more with this view.
Not only is it simplistic to say the least it's also completely missing the point of science.
But even worse is that it's promoting a kind of atheism that is primarily of interest to a minute group of atheist who have been replacing religion with obsession.
Scientists can be doomsday religions fanatics for all I care. As long as they are curious, methodic, critical and factual; they are going to produce just as good work as someone who believes that scientists should be militant atheist.
