I met people on both sides that had either of those attitudes.
The "I'm always right because I have a PHD" is not uncommon, even on fields not covered by their education. At the same time, I've met many religious people (Muslims, Hindus, Christians) that for them religion was a private, personal aspect that helped them deal with their lives. As a kind of a routine, something done time and time again enough to clear up their minds from stress and give them an anchor when lost.

I'm not religious, but I believe in freedom and the pursuit of happiness, and I support anyone as long as it doesn't interfere with other's.

Religion is a scam built to take advantage and control the uneducated masses.

Except that many highly educated people are also into religions :(

Childhood indoctrination works wonders to keep you scam going.

The whole life has a purpose and eternal soul thing make people want to believe as well

True but hope and Ikigai's/purpose can be done without religion. The eternal soul is much more difficult to go against
