I think that, in general, there usually can't be an X that provides Y even to someone that is inherently opposed to get Y from X.
However, there might be a type of rationality that satisfies the need for the warm fuzzies when presented to minds that are not inherently predisposed to derive such from rationality, that works for moderate-minded skeptics, for people who aren't actively trying to believe in it but also aren't actively trying not to believe in it.
