I don't believe you need a massive set of data to reason that people who study theology are more likely to be religiously inclined though. So I'd say grandparents theory appears more likely.

I only know one person who studied theology and she experienced her first religious service 2.5 years into her studies.

Yes, even things we believe to be true we have to put evidence for on the table in scientific discourse.

I have met tens of former theology majors; all of them were very religious. 100% were catholic school teachers or priests though.
parent's post relies on that same reasoning, if you read it closely and with a bit of sarcasm. ;)
