A story on ABC News reports on a study by UB sociologist Kristen Schultz Lee and a colleague at Rice University that found that one out of five scientists who describe themselves as either atheists or agnostics actually go to church in order to expose their children to religion so that they can make up their own minds on what to believe. An article also appeared on CNN's Belief blog.
