I think scholars have a somewhat distorted view of religion. For instance, the Pope says "no sex before marriage", yet ten out of ten Catholics do it. The founders of all major religions for a good deal of their lives professed a religion other than the one they founded - Christ was a Jew, Sidharta was a Hindu, Calvin was a Catholic, and so on. The fact that they were able to establish new religions means that, at least in their time, a lot of believers did not care much about official doctrine. I believe that to be the case everytime.
