Nassim Taleb's makes an argument that he believes on God by default and he is widely seen as a rational person. I don't think it makes sense to see his position as lower in the hierarchy than people who believe based on the design argument.
His belief by default is based on some sort of argument, not unthinking acceptance of whatever his parents told him. In other words, his "default belief" is not the same as my hierarchy's "default belief."
