Because they are more intelligent than the average person and don't fall for that garbage.

There are notable scientists who believe in God. I will show you some of them.
Now look who answered you before me. What did they say? Are there any who say things contrary to what I claim? I think there were. Can you ask yourself, "Have these people ever looked into it? Or are they acting like a know-it all, who act as if they were born experts on the subject? If I can produce the names of prominent scientists both in the past, and present, then I guess all those people lied to you. They are lying for what reason? Maybe because they are proud of the way they lie? Or what they are lying about? Why so much vehemence?
The first, the most obvious:
Sir Isaac Newton

Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet (13 August 1819–1 February 1903) was an Irish mathematician and physicist, who at Cambridge made important contributions to fluid dynamics (including the Navier-Stokes equations), optics, and mathematical physics (including Stokes' theorem). He was secretary, then president of the Royal Society.

Professor Robert Andrews Millikan (March 22, 1868 – December 19, 1953) was an American experimental physicist who won the 1923 Nobel Prize for his measurement of the charge on the electron and for his work on the photoelectric effect. He later studied cosmic rays.

Dr. Robert Thomas "Dinosaur Bob" Bakker (born March 24, 1945, in Bergen County, New Jersey) is an American paleontologist who helped reshape modern theories about dinosaurs, particularly by adding support to the theory that some dinosaurs were homeothermic (warm-blooded).

Really, to find something out, it does good to look around and see what you will find, rather than claim something that wasn't true!

Maybe do some research and you will find most great scientists were people who believed in God. Anyway everyone has a choice what they want to believe and with that comes also accountability

Who told that scientists don't believe in God? Scientists are largely like any other people when it comes to personal religious beliefs: some believe in God, some don't.
The good scientist though knows how to distinguish his or her research from personal religious beliefs, or whatever it is they do in their spare time that gives their life personal meaning.

50% do, 50% don't. Those that do believe it do not believe any of the current fables of God, because they understand the science of evolution, and of continental drift. They see in God not a designer, but a first cause, just a being who set the world into motion and let the pieces fall where they may. Science disproves all major God-based religions, and by that very fact, scientists do not believe in the old myths.
edit:
"Many scientists believe in God.Don't believe the propaganda out there.However,atheist evolutionists think they are smarter than God and think He does not exist."
See? This is exactly why we Atheists need to educate the rest of you. It is impossible to think you're smarter than a being that doesn't exist. That's just bad logic. If you apply that to all of your decisions, you're going to end up believing that a mighty God-creature created you from clay, despite the fact that our biology is carbon based as opposed to silicon based. Let go of the nonsense.

The more they study science and understand the workings of life and the universe, what they learn teaches them there is no reason to belief.
However, a great deal of scientists are religious. Dr. Kenneth Miller, who wrote "Finding Darwin's God", is a respected cellular biologist and professor at Brown University.
My father was an applied physicist and a Christian.

That is a generalization. Do you know every scientist in the world and know for a fact none of them believe in God?

you seem to have assumed that scientists tend not to believe in god. but it could also be that those who don't believe in god tend to become scientists.

Some scientists are Christian. Yet their profession demands that they discover the secrets of the universe in a way that can be proven.
