There is no logic in theism, that is exactly the point. That is why it's called faith. They are two separate animals. I'm not so sure why people are so quick to assume that religious people are stupid, or unscientific or somehow inferior. Newton, Einstein, and countless other scientists were/are religious.
I don't think tradition is the answer either. My father is a top scientist in his field. Not one you would call stupid or dismiss. He converted to Catholicism even though no one else in the family was at the time. The other scientists in my family are Buddhist, Muslim, Christian (including Baptist, Evangelical, non-denominational) and yes, atheist as well.
Many of the doctors and lawyers, engineers and other 'intelligent" scientists I know are religious. Heck, my doctor and dentist are Jewish.
No, religion and science are not mutually exclusive.
