Disagreed. My current opinion is that you can be a theist and combine that with pretty much any other knowledge. Eliezer points to Robert Aumann as an example.
For someone that has theism hardcoded into their brain and treats it as a different kind of knowledge than physics there can be virtually no visible difference in everyday life from a normal a-theist.
I think the problem is not so much the theism, but that people use it to base decisions on it.

oh it’s true. I know deeply religious scientists. Some of them are great scientists. Let’s not get unduly snide about this.
