Interestingly enough, I find that those who bend the rules of credulity in relation to religion, especially when they are doctors or scientists, still abide by the secular rules of their stated profession.

I believe the exception takes place in extreme circumstances.

Crazy religious woman who drowns her kids because she heard god tell her to do so. She obviously had psychological problems.
