People in the modern world aren't so well educated in relevant topics to the criterion of the OP, or well rounded, and tend to be specialized. Once they learn something occupationally they stay with it. Scientist remain scientists and if group think opinion is anti-Christian so shall they tend to be. People that aren't philosophers tend not to think too deeply about philosophy and I would guess that pro philosophers tend toward occupational specialization as well. Actual intelligent, philosophy reading Americans at least might end up broke after college reading philosophy and not looking for academic employment or stocking groceries, driving a truck or whatever. Much of the opinion is superficial. There are Christian ministers that don't understand philosophy, or that believe there is an heretical Neo-pagan god of philosophy, and many readers of philosophy that have no idea about the several paradigms for belief in God that exist today.
There are few that correlate philosophy, cosmology, physics and Christian faith with quantum mechanics and theology to consider how God could create a Multiverse within his mind solely, or that understand that Hegel's paradigm of God evolving to realize Himself through history may have numerous possible paradigmatic meaning values although Hegel assuredly had a single one. There are just not too many people that know interdisciplinary content well enough to understand and write about things. So it tends toward being a political paradigm of us vs them. Kierkegaard wrote a book named 'Stages on Life's Way'- a practical and rather wise title, yet life itself is a stage that people pass through- some believe unto nothingness, others belief unto eternal life with God via the Son, It is not only a temporal divide; it is an eternal divide. Fortunately religious tolerance is part of the American way of life. There are other temporal issues to be concerned with, such as these I mentioned today elsewhere.
