Both groups feel the other side is dishonest?

I might have contested the idea that moderately religious people tend to have the most CD, but while thinking about it I had a thought come to me; I hypotheized the devout would have more CD seeing as they were constantly reminded of the flaws in the Bible, but there is another term for those who believe two contradicting concepts, isn't there? An internal type of denial where the denier isn't aware of the contradiction?
Doublethink. I did end up remembering it.

You're free to contest as you will, I'm not the end-all-be-all of anything by myself (and even the, can I really be sure?).

I believe it's different for the devout. They feel as if scientists are lying to them, so they don't think their evidence at face value. Moderates do take science at face value and oftentimes espouse social freedoms. They've got to reconcile their personal beliefs with their religious beliefs and then reconcile that with scientific evidence that doesn't mesh with their religious belief. It's an ocean of CD. However, I'd be open to discussion on this matter. There might be some faucet of the devout (or the moderate) that I'm not seeing.


EDIT: I feel as if I misunderstood what you are saying. I think I understand now, but I (sadly) don't know the word for what you're thinking of.
