All Christian, many ministers, some theologians. You cannot change these birth certificates and remove their religion or the churches influence over them.
Because they did not let their beliefs get in the way of science.
It's called Compartmentalization, and it's the same reason you can
Quote scripture, and still claim you're not religious.
The oft-cited example of Francis Collins, founder of the human genome project and devout Christian, would not have been able to follow the evidence where it led, and scientifically prove the Adam and Eve story is impossible if he kept to strict religious doctrine.
The same goes for every other scientist.
Other religions existed during those ages, but they were persecuted.

We have to use common sense, I am sure some of those religious scientist may have been crossdressers, only dressing in religion, but I seriously doubt the majority of them.
