Well perhaps not theists themselves but the religions certainly are.
It's because of the dogma and laws being lain down in the past with chance of revision.
The best religions can do is ignore bits, but they are still there in the texts.
Science can change fundamentally as can business models and civilisations but Christianity etc is destined to be stupid forever.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
