According to this feature, we apply our Wis mod bonus to Arcana OR Religion. However in DND Beyond the bonus is applied to both. Is this a bug or bad wording?
The wording seems pretty clear. If you are rolling an Intelligence check, and it uses the Arcana skill or the Religion skill, the bonus applies.
It doesn't say anything anywhere about having to choose one of those two options. If the intent were for you to choose one when you get the feature, it would say that.

It was meant to work on both, not to be a feature that you make a choice on.
It is slightly ambiguous wording. It seems the intent is that whenever you make an Arcana or Religion check, you add the bonus.
