I can't speak to all religious traditions, I would say that in many Judeo-Christian traditions, that is not the case (and again, I can't speak for even a small minority of these traditions) "Why do we do what we do?" or "Why do we believe this to be so?" are frequently asked and debated. There is an assumption that there are logical reasons for beliefs, due to physical, societal or psychological negative|positive consequences, even if those reasons are thousands of years out of date (not eating pork for example). Emotion can have very little to do with it. On the other hand, there sure are many traditions that only emphasize feelings and emotions. I don't believe any is better than the other (each to his or her own).
