People, religious or otherwise, with an ounce of integrity - can separate belief from knowledge. I believe that my sons will grow up to be fantastic human beings who will never be arrested for murdering someone with the claw end of a hammer. I don't know that (and..every day, they present evidence to the contrary..I'm starting to worry that I'll have to perjure myself on the stand at some point in my life in service to my sons. I will, ofc, fuck whoever's head they cave in with a hammer, these are my sons). Similarly, the people I'm referring to believe in a god, but they don't bullshit anyone about knowing it, or seeing evidence everywhere they look.
It takes a certain amount of oomph to accurately identify your beliefs for what they are and maintain them regardless. I find a certain amount of respect in this..you may not, and that's okay.
