Hello, I have a personal experience to share on this.
TLDR: Getting deep into science exposes you to mechanics of the universe, which make you believe into them more than into yourself. The spiritual force coming from deep science is the ultimate "I know that I know nothing". It´s not about the modern use of "god" as a personification, but "god" as the feeling of something greater and something that directs the flow of events.
I am from Germany and my parents did not assign me a religion. When I was young, I thought that religion was some old, outdated relict of times when we burnt each other to death.
However, as I grew older, my interest into quantum science and light-matter-intersections got me thinking.
I started working as a chemical laboratory assistant. What I have learned is the typical greek wisdom:
I now know that I don´t know anything at all.
Chemistry is a "good guess", the action in the lab is occaisionally totally different from the theory, because there are non-linear influences that you cannot always control. A slight temperature or moisture change in the room, and effects take command of your synthesis, which you´re not even aware they exist.
The more effects I study, from biology to physics to chemistry and all together, the more I see how crazy wonderful our existence is.
The glance, that all these things play together and result in my feeling of the present moment, is elevating.
Those forces, this universe, becomes my "god". An unlimited amount of crazy effects fall into harmony and build and built everything, forever.
Andrew Huberman might have had a similar realisation process.
