Barbara might describe herself this way. We would of course say that she's "refusing to apply rationality" to the religious domain, but that's not necessarily what she would say.
A religious person who admits that their belief is irrational is probably already in Caroline territory.
Not in my experience - they seem to maintain non-overlapping magisteria in their heads. You can do all sorts of things with compartmentalisation!
This is particularly difficult to alleviate if there's money involved, whether coming to them or going from them. (New Age in a phrase: "dolphins and money, dolphins and money.")
