Comment on Connecting Your Beliefs (a call for help)

This seems right to me. I know a fair amount of philosophers and at least some varieties of them seem to naturally disfavor compartmentalization.

For example, I was originally an atheist for purely methodological reasons. Religion invites dead dogma, and dead dogma kills your ability to discover true beliefs (for exactly the same reason "0 and 1 are not probabilities"). I felt therefore that adhering to a religion while being a philosopher was professionally irresponsible.
