In my personal experience, most professional mathematicians and physicists are open to questioning the foundations of their discipline, and deal charitably with doubters (even those who are coming from a place of misunderstanding).

I suspect most of the “high priests” you speak of aren’t actually professionals at all, just Internet randoms who (at best) know only slightly more than you do, and who know very little about the norms of civil dialogue
