Modern scientists rejected the idea of the metaphysical and that not all of reality is part of the observable experimental physical universe. Because science is the method by which we gain insight about physical reality, if physical reality is all that exists, then all can be learned through science and religion was seen as "anti-science," because it made meta-physical claims.
Earlier (western) scientists were highly religious because they recognized that through science, one can learn more of God's creation and grow in understanding of God. This led to the greatest scientific boom ever known to man.
