Atheism is a denial of the most broadly-held beliefs in the supernatural. Supernatural thinking has no place in science. Yes some scientists believe in gods but if they don't partition those beliefs from their work them they're not good at their work.

I have no idea what you mean by atheism thwarting motivation. Atheists have been disproportionately involved in most of society's social advances, because religious people are so flexible in using the moral immunity of their faith to justify their bigotry.
