Philosophers generally aren't religious. Nearly 3/4ths of them are atheist/agnostic according to a 2009 study.
Philosophers back in the day believed in God because that was just the default worldview. A lot of these religious philosophers also greatly contributed to math.
Modern day philosophers are more analytical and don't except improvable concepts like God.

If you guys want the true Psychological answer, it's because the majority of people do believe in god.

Mathematicians are less inclined than the average person to believe in it, so they're actually less religious. This could be because the Bible does contain some mathematical errors (Picrel) but generally the concept of a God is not in contradiction with mathematics.

Physics, however, is in direct contradiction because belief in a Big Bang and the origins of the earth interferes with Genesis.
