Why would it? Niehls Bohr and Einstein two of the greatest physicists ever, believed in God. There are many who did/do not believe in God. But, you are not asking about the ones who don't.
You ask specifically about rigour, or rigor as we say here in the states. Why would being religious in any way interfere with with the capacity of a person to show rigor in their scientific research?
If that were true: does discovering that a scientist is a confirmed atheist make you question his capacity for scientific rigor?
