You have put marketing considerations above the rational search for the truth. I do not think you would have done the same thing when you were considering atheism: "will this true belief make me less marketable?" And you should not do it now.

I disagree with your claim that I've put marketing considerations above the rational search for truth. Also, remember that in our best current models of normative decision theory, true beliefs are a means to the end of optimal action.
