If you belive in your own understanding of god, than there’s no conflict, it’s pandering in my opinion, inserting something somewhere just for the sake of it without being promoted to, but the point is that it’s not conflicting. The problem is that most religious people cling to some select dogmas from their respective texts that directly conflict with the scientific method.

But in a way you are correct, the original western “scientist” were usually christian and were looking for God or God’s perfect work through the observable world (and were occasionally quite disappointed with their discoveries of the mess they found).
