I don't recall the technical term, but it has to do with compartmentalizing. Work is one thing and his faith another. When I say, "I personally know," I mean I actually know this person in my real life (though I haven't seen him in almost 10 years), he is my step-mother's brother. He's a physicist who doesn't believe in dinosaurs... It's weird, I don't get it, but that's what he believes.
