It's what you get when humanity's hubris of trying to become like gods meets the dogmatic thinking of religion. Their thinking has gone full circle, from rejecting religion and embracing science, to rejecting science and claiming something similar to having a soul. So yes they do believe it in many cases (obviously not everyone), because it's just like religion with their followers believe crazy things (plenty of examples, i.e. magic underwear, thetans, end of the world etc).
