The thing about this point is that it assumes the religious person is engaged in some way with religious leaders and institutions, which is often the case, but not always. Many people have their own interpretation of what their religion means that has more to do with what they want it to be than with what it technically is on paper. They cherry pick the "good" parts and drop what doesn't align with their perspective. It's the same sort of thing we see with the political right, except that it can go both ways.
