This is of course based on your belief that the only reasons to be religious are "bullshit" reasons.
I'm not persuaded of that yet. Nor am I persuaded that someone who is very reasonable in every other field of life can only be religious by shutting off one part of his reason. There may be good reasons, and I have a duty to know them.
If we aspire to be clear and critical thinkers, we have a duty to keep in mind that our own reasons may be bullshit reasons.
