I think you are approximately right here, but it’s important to think about just how high that upper bound is, and what activities can only be accomplished by people above that bound. It might help to think in more concrete terms about what someone who believes in religion cannot achieve, that a non-believer can.
With sufficient compartmentalization of religious beliefs, I would venture to say the answer is a pretty small subset of activities. They may be important activities on a global scale, but mostly unimportant in peoples’ day to day functioning.
It’s very easy to imagine, or better yet, meet, theists who are far more rational in achieving their goals than even many of the people on this board.
