Interesting! More Mathematicians believe in God than any other group but Biologist that do, are increasing.
"The relatively improved faith of biologists may well be due to the gradual decline in credibility of Darwin's theory of natural selection. Too many holes have appeared in it, and biologists would be the first to become aware of this. They would know before anyone else, for instance, of the failure to discover the fossil remains of transitional species, of the failure of laboratory experiment to duplicate any evolutionary change and, most recently, of the profound complexities evidenced in the single cell, which Darwin regarded as "the simple cell.""

As for the Mathematicians, perhaps they are more concerned with logical consistency, where the scientist worries about verifiability. Still the Biologist are increasing, more becoming aware of the limitations of their knowledge and (heaven forbid) the need for help! About 44.6% of the mathematicians affirm a belief in God. The most commonly known all seem to be there or were, AE, KG, Pascal, Newton, Galileo.
Interesting the attack on mathematical axioms by Betrand Russell.
"Pure mathematics consists entirely of assertions to the effect that, if such and such a proposition is true of anything, then such and such another proposition is true of that thing. It is essential not to discuss whether the first proposition is really true, and not to mention what the anything is, of which it is supposed to be true … If our hypothesis is about anything, and not about some one or more particular things, then our deductions constitute mathematics. Thus mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.[13]"

Russell won a Nobel Prize for his work as Denny points out. But then his work was pretty much demolished by Gödel a renown mathematician that used of axioms. Russells logic sound very much like the logic Denny and Further used above. Russell does not appear in this list of famous Mathematicians, they do not give a Nobel prize for Mathematics.
