Believing in any sort of god, soul, or spirit is dualism. If these things have no material basis (and so far we have found no soul, god, or spirit) then they have to be non-material. This leads to dualism. People who follow non-dualists beliefs or ''advaita'' beliefs may say they are not into dualism but their beliefs cannot point in any different direction.
That's why I said that it doesn't matter whether one takes a Christian God or a ''divine source'', a personal god or a non-personal god, or a dvaita or advaita belief.
It does not matter which god a scientist refers to when they are still said to be non-material by believers.
