One possibility -- the tertiary Ni of ISTP would be skeptical if not cynical about religion in general ("What's 'the system' trying to get me to believe?"), and this is what I've seen with the few ISTPs here on MBTIc (indifference or aggression towards religious belief... as if the system is mere exploitative).
If the INTP is brought up in Christian faith, this gets incorporated into Si. And the pattern-seeking Ne will often identify with the themes of the faith (and thus buy into it), even if some specific doctrine seems sketchy in places and ends up being rejected because it's illogical.
