There is a problem with this arguement.
First off, they are scientists and not Theologians. You can use the "If she/he is smart/logical in this subject, then she/he is smart/logical in all subject."
But that arguement is not logical!
Again, it;s a logical fallacy knows as the 'appeal to (false) authority'
Now to the question--Do we need Religion. Some individuals do in the sense they cannot roll out of Bed without some kind of faith, belief, hope that will get them through the day. If religion was to go away, those individuals may be undone.
Let us deal with the larger picture. In the sociological sense, what could fill religion's roll in human affairs and the development of society, if all pretense if deity as it has been known were cast aside?
