In the past religion wasn't really optional and atheists were persecuted therefore it is incorrect to consider that past scientist and philosophers were real believers and not just pretended to believe in order to not be persecuted by the Inquisition, from many of the quotes of famous people of the past you can conclude that latter in fact was the case. For example, when Spinoza said that squares would have had a square god and circles a circular one, he implied that god is not a creator but a mere creation of their followers and by extension Christian god who, according to Christian doctrine, created human in his own image, was in fact created by humans who made god in their image and then just swapped creators with created for added supernaturality.
