In the 19th century you could get a degree in Divinity, which is clearly ideological and unrigorous.

Those divinity students at a good school in the 1800s were incredibly smart and erudite. Even if you think theology is wrong or silly, it doesn’t mean the people were silly.

Whether it is wrong and silly is irrelevant; my claim is that it is "ideological and unrigorous".

I'm sure lots of them were smart and erudite.
