They are not necessarily exclusive but are on a specturm and at either end they would be. The point is that your assumption that there is a religious tryuth from which theologians are led away due to study is possibly incorrect; it could be that there simply is no religious truth and the study through critical reasoning of theology makes on realize this. There is certainly room for overlap. ANd, as I said bfore, I do not subscribe to the second theory.
