I'm sorry, I can't add to that list. I imagine you could add the majority of scientists from after the rise of christianity to 1900s-ish (just a guess).
I have 2 reasons for this: firstly you could claim almost anything about the private lives of 99% of scientists and few people could argue against it (Newton's favourite colour was tangello). Secondly our understanding of the way the universe works has only really developed to something so comprehensive in the last few decades- before then we had no idea about tectonic plates, supernovas and evolution, so many people would be forced to concede the idea of a supreme God to explain what we don't know.

There are undoubtedly many more, but your list is worthless.
ALL of the scientists on your list died before the discovery of DNA, and many before even the theory of evolution. In such circumstances, theism still made sense. If the same set of scientists were alive today, I would wage that most would be agnostics or atheists.

Can't add to your list, but I know quite a few theistic scientists today.

The Scientific Method cannot be used to prove or disprove the existence of God. Science is silent on the subject.
One of the major thinkers in the development of the Big Bang Theory was a Roman Catholic Priest (Georges Lemaître).
A similar list can be made for all religious thought. There are competent scientists that are: Theists, Atheists, Agnostic, Monotheists, or Polytheists. The two areas of human thought are not related so long as you do not bring dogma from either area into the other.
The mind set for science is: The universe makes sense and is governed by logical, consistent rules that we can figure out. Therefore, the Scientific Method can be thought of as being like the Rules of Evidence in a Court of Law. The SM does NOT allow the use of "God" as part of the support of a scientific argument. This has nothing to do with the existence or nonexistence of God. You can be a Theist and hold that your goal is to understand the Mind of God. You are trying to understand how God did it, even if you cannot understand why. You cannot say, "This is beyond my understanding, so God must have done it." Nor, can you say that your Holy Book that has been translated from ancient languages written by people that did not have the understanding we have is the reveled Word of God and 100% accurate and literally correct. (Example: The Hebrews at the time of Moses did not have the concept of fractions as a result the Biblical value for Pi is exactly 3 (1 Kings). Nor, did they understand the Horologic Cycle and believed that rain was an Act of God.)Perhaps, Genesis 1:1 was mistranslated from ancient Hebrew. I think it might say, "In the Beginning the universe was void and without form and God said, 'BANG!!' and there was matter and energy.")

Clearly you are setting yourself up for argument by appeal to authority. Appeal to authority is anti-science, not science. But uneducated people don't know the difference, and you are preparing to exploit their ignorance. This is just my own personal opinion, but exploiting ignorance doesn't seem to be a very Christian endeavor.

You are not making an equal comparison.
You are comparing apples with oranges.
Believing in a creator is something and believing in a dogmatic beliefs is something else.
Also you are talking about individuals who believed in God and Science who were persecuted by the Church. Why because the church suppressed knowledge except what they approved.
I am not accusing the Christian faith here I am pointing to the clergy. This clergy suppressing system happens every where, generation and religion. It also happened in Islam but to a lesser extent. Why because the role of clergy in Islam is minimal if at all. This is why science prospered under the Islamic state rule. They encouraged research and learning. This is why every Muslim scientist between 7th and almost till 18th century was a devout practicing person.
But, in comparison the role of the Christian clergy was so powerful that it suppressed science, research and learning (even Bible learning except what the clergy taught - in Islam a child would know the Quran by heart) this is why Christian Europe plunged into darkness from 300CE to 17th century when the scientist broke of the church though some remained to believe in God their own way.
Please understand it is the human element that supreses more than the religion itself.
Christianity does not specifically condemn knowledge but clergy took it upon themselves to do so.
While Islam in the Quran pushes people to go and do research and no clergy to stop it. (though at certain times some powerful personalities tried to push people to their way of thinking - but faced with clear Quranic verses failed to do so sooner or later)
So make sure you do a good and compatible comparison.

And your point is???
Would you like a list of Muslim scientists???
See the link below. The list is too long to list here...
The Muslim scientists were advancing the world's knowledge when Christians were busy trying to figure out how many angels could dance on the head of a pin OR whether Adam had a navel...
How about these scientists...
Anaksagor (500-428 BC)
Anaksimandr (610-547 BC)
Anaksimen (apprx. 585 - apprx. 523 BC)
Apollony Pergsky (apprx. 260 - 170 BC)
Archimedes (287-212 BC)
Aristotle (384-322 BC)

Chzhan Hen (78-139
Demokrit (460-360 BC)
Diofant (300 BC.)
Eratosfen (276-191 BC)
Erazistrat (IV-III centuries BC)
Evklid (III century BC)

Gerodot (300 BC)
Geron Alexandria (a pprx. I century d.C.)
