You know followers of <insert any random thing> invented <any random thing>, right?

There's no dots to connect between one thing and the other. Someone can be a hardcore Catholic and invent an abortion device or an atheist could come up with a fancy new way of manufacturing crosses. Their stance on religion is irrelevant.

Again, what are you trying to say here? Some scientists are Catholics? Some of them are even famous? What does that have to do with anything?
