Indeed.  Even if we wanted a herd specific to religion, "theology" is
not the best choice since I've yet to conceive of how a program can do
theology.  Certain types of programs can inform one's theology
(textual studies programs based on SWORD are a good example of this),
but the same programs have various other uses.  Humanities is a good
enough description.
