No, they usually aren't. It's not the case that every single belief someone has is held by the same standard. You can be 'objective and facts based' in the areas where it actually matters while being religious, aswell as an ignorant atheist. Religion isn't about rational evaluation, it's rather emotion-based. And if someone wants to make excuses for his religion by the real world standards anyway, it's easy 'because magic'.
