You ask if it has been my experience to find “the greatest scientists irreligious”? That has not been my experience, but the reverse. To confine myself to my own line of mathematical and physical science, and to those who are no longer on earth, though not very many years dead, I could not well select more eminent scientists, of world-wide reputation, than Faraday, Clerk-Maxwell, and Adams, the discoverer of Neptune. I knew all three very well, especially Maxwell and Adams, with whom I was very intimate. I know that they were all deeply religious Christian men.

Newton himself was a religious man, and his writings show it. It is shown by the famous Scholium at the end of his immortal work the Principia. He wrote largely on prophecies.
