You've inaccurately conflated "didn't know" with "didn't believe."
When the future of your company depends more on getting funding than it does upon the quality of your product, you do what you can to appeal to those with the money.
Who do you think funded the creation of all these companies? Legitimately rich people looking to invest in the next big thing? Or DARPA and similar?
If the latter, how would you appeal to them? Demonstrating your allegiance to God? Which god?
Even if Jobs and Woz were tinkering kids, the people creating the conditions for that technology to be created and brought to market weren't. Silicon valley, including Apple and Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and others all started with DARPA tech and government funding via various proxies and fronts.
Anyone who has any level of knowledge of the history of Apple and Steve Jobs
I love your dedication to the "the official story is all there is to it" bit.
