You guys think too much sometimes. You seemed to me to be suggesting that the study of theology makes you apostate because it is all BS and so leads you away from the truth, as opposed to science, which is not BS. An laterntate explanation for the causality that immediately suggested itslef to me is that the study of tehology makes you apostate becasue it is BS and you realize this when you study it, while scientists aren't as likely to be apostate becasue they don't study it. I don't subscribe to this, but it just seems equally defesible as a theory.
