Interesting article summary at physorg.com:

http://tinyurl.com/n2fusq

Author argues that a deeper understanding of quantum theory only  
comes from understanding the context of the early pioneers, that many  
scientists and mathematicians at the time had deeply held religious  
beliefs, or so we would judge today, which he posits colored what  
some were looking for and that these beliefs certainly colored the  
new language as it developed.....

Marin, the author, offers this:

“Science vs. religion is a very recent forced choice that the  
founders of quantum mechanics would have never recognized, much less  
accepted.”

Food for thought....
