The truth of the belief is in what it achieves. This is just the end result, sure. Reasoning to that point will be different for every person. How would you justify child like acceptance? Because that basic level of understanding is all that is required. Not blind acceptance, but basic, solid reasoning.

I believe in God. I know Christianity to be true. The proof is in the results, and easily demonstrable to yourself, who cannot justify an equally positive life.
