Exactly what I'm getting at. In order to challenge your outlook you need to adopt the point of view which you don't agree with. I am occasionally a theist during those moments where I'm trully questioning my belief itself (which I don't have) but in order to ironically I adopt a believer's frame of reference. If my mind were to freeze by some change of the wind's direction, etc I would maintain a theist outlook. I just don't remain in that state of mind because I know it's akin to identification, which for all intensive purposes could be accomplished with any object/thing/idea.
Where "evidence" is faith or belief interchangably so scrutinising means attacking that head on.

Can you not hold a belief that entirely lacks evidence, that is entirely faith-based... and yet still attempt to search for evidence (without actually finding/believing and holding any) - I don't see why not?
