quote:
Do they agree on the existence of God?
Given your usage of the imprecise word "they," it's impossible to answer your question. Are you asking if all atheists agree on the existence of god? If so, the answer is yes by definition. If you are asking whether religious scientists and atheists agree on the existence of god, the answer is no by definition.

What does science have to do with God?
Nothing. Science talks about the natural, god (by most definitions) is supernatural. Science says nothing about the supernatural.
quote:
And what does "matters of science" have to do with religion or God?
Nothing, directly. Now, if a particular religion makes a claim about the real world that would leave behind evidence, science can look for the evidence. If the evidence found contradicts the claim, science can refute the claim. Other than that, the two occupy separate spheres.
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
