They certainly don't practice what is in there.
Only whatever their pastor cherry-picked from it.
Not even that.

Yeah I’m not so sure about this haha. I work in academia, and there is quite the abundance of closed mindedness and dogmatism.
Yeah no one seems interested in my perpetual motion machine.
I think that's just the comfortable position for humans. Questioning what you know to be true is hard, and the more fundamental the fact the more uncomfortable it is to doubt. Which is also why religion is so attractive.

Religion is a scam built to take advantage and control the uneducated masses.

I met people on both sides that had either of those attitudes.
The "I'm always right because I have a PHD" is not uncommon, even on fields not covered by their education.
At the same time, I've met many religious people (Muslims, Hindus, Christians) that for them religion was a private, personal aspect that helped them deal with their lives.
As a kind of a routine, something done time and time again enough to clear up their minds from stress and give them an anchor when lost.
I'm not religious, but I believe in freedom and the pursuit of happiness, and I support anyone as long as it doesn't interfere with other's.

This isn't true at all. It all depends on the person. People could fit into:
Religion - I know everything. Religion - I don't know enough. Science - I know everything. Science - I don't know enough.
You know, some people even love both religion and science!
