The connection is that you say "why learn about God or why learn about Christianity" and the answer is extremely obvious: because almost every society in history has took the concept of God seriously and Christianity is the most popular understanding. The rest was directed towards the pride of the scientism which says it has no place for religion and has a direct economic stake in studying science. Why go to theology for truth when you can learn how to make money and learn that you don't have to follow any rules at the same time?
I don't see how that has no discernible connection to your post. It is pure pride to ignore religion and the economic connection was to indicate the superficiality with which scientism is promoted as a sole means of understanding truth. I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that your disdain for theological methods was due in a large measure because of your preference for science. There is nothing praiseworthy about ignoring theology and studying science or something similar to get a job and saying that you know based on a certain worldview that you can reject God. I call it greed.
