With no particular evidence, i believe that in every era there have been people who were deeply religious, and others who went along with the social requirements their religion imposed, but otherwise didn’t think about it much, and a few who thought the whole thing was hogwash.

I think “religiosity” is like musicality, a fundamental trait of human beings that some people have a lot of, and some have almost none of.
