Those two theories aren't mutually exclusive. People realize theology is BS because they can't make a rational defense for God, so they think God must not exist. But I think the reason they can't do it is because they're methods are a bunch of warm-fuzzy BS. With science, it's a little more clear cut, so they won't go apostate as much.
