For having dealt with various religious communities, mostly Catholic, you'd be surprised how little people care about what the pope / their priest thinks, especially on anything outside the sphere of religious matters. There is also a strong distinction between science and spirituality. It is pretty obvious that there is more at play than simply religious (community, culture etc...) Just look at education levels for the various religious/non-religious groups: Christians and Jewish people are the most educated groups (more than all non-affiliated even) worldwide. Look at individual countries and these levels are completely switched around.
