Have you ever actually tried that? I've always thought theists work way too hard to maintain a false front of confidence in having all the answers. I personally would embrace and defend a theist in such a stance. They immediately go up in my esteem.
Of course if it were just a sham affectation in the service of apologetic rhetoric, never mind.
