If I see convincing evidence I would believe (that's what "convincing" means) If you put a gun to my head I may say "I believe" and would probably follow all the rules and rituals, but I wouldn't truly believe.

Exactly. Christianity losing this last battle to me felt like the gun being removed followed by realizing it was imaginary the whole time...
