I personally know people who study Christianity for a living (I actually live with one), and are quite aware of not only what Christianity is, but constantly try to know more about where did those ideas come from and for example how did the Bible come to be what it is. (Who wrote what, when, where and why, what was excluded and why...) And yes, what they do is actually ranked to be pretty good science...

But what they do is a
social science, not to be confused with real, tangible, natural science. In my experience, most Christian historians, Biblical scholars and theologians are actually not even very well read in the social sciences. Most are literary critics, literary historians and antiquities experts with little social scientific training.
