Your idea is nonsense I believe Dotard. I'll try to explain why.
You talk of your own wild misconception of what belief is. Like many onlookers you assume belief entails extremes. To you a Christian acting in an un Christian way is somehow subhuman.. when the point is belief is addressing exactly that - humanity with all it's imperfections.
Belief in God is an aim at perfection. It is never perfection attained. Perfection attained = God.
People can be inspired into action at differing levels. Any unselfishness you achieve is not gained by your effort alone. Religiosity is cursed by God. Mere actions do not equal full commitment, only a sign of commitment. A person could be fully committed to their belief without any outward clue to an outsider necessary.
Doubt is a very important facet of belief. If you don't doubt everything you don't question and you take belief for granted. Say you had a wife and you loved her.. taking her for granted would be a capital offense. Weak faith is the result of not doubting. Questioning everything is vital. Testing belief is vital.
