In practice we have two brains (it's like a dual processor) and they are connected together as depicted here.

It's possible for someone to function perfectly well with only one, the plasticity of the remain hemisphere will compensate and take over the missing hemispheres functionality. Though as an adult you lose that plasticity and become hardwired.
I would see the brain as a filter for consciousness which fits well enough with what we physically observe. If someone has two separate brains it's possible for each brain to come to it's own differing opinions on say the subject of Gods existence. Depending on which brain you ask you may well get a different answer.
