I'm still trying to figure out where exactly sincere belief and the labeling of unbelief as "sin" meet.
"I really believe because to be in doubt is sinful" is not the same as "I really believe because I am convinced it is true based on..." One cannot have it both ways: On the one hand advocating their religion as reasonable and supported by evidence and on the other hand condemning any and all doubt as equal to dishonesty. Since most apologists do pretend their faith is reasonable, they must have not gotten the memo that unbelief is tantamount to moral depravity, which is about as unreasonable as a belief can be.
