Yes they were, but they were Christians who were also heavily influenced by the 18th century Enlightenment philosophers. Many of them would find themselves disagreeing with a twentieth century believer in complete Biblical inerrancy.
I doubt that since most of them would have most probably continued reading and studying the copious amounts of research showing evermore uniqueness as the Bible itself claims.
For one the complete vindication of archaeological evidence supporting Biblical history.
Or how about microbiology showing we indeed are composed of the same basic elements and composition as dust.
Then too is the research into Biblical prophecies showing astounding claims vindicated time and time again [i.e. the rebirth of Israel as a nation - completely unparalleled by any other nation in all of history suffering genocide and worldwide dispersion of the survivors].
Also the Dead Sea Scrolls which vindicate the accuracy of the Holy Scriptures preserved down thru the ages as well as the sheer number of surviving manuscripts [over 10k preserved copies of the New Testament - which could also be completely replicated just by the quotes/references found in other history books written since Jesus walked among us] - again unparalleled by any other preserved ancient writings
I could go on but not much point for those who are willfully spiritually blind...
And we’re in the 21st century btw...
