Are there people that are otherwise logical but drop their skepticism when it comes to religion? How do they consolidate those 2 sides of themselves? (lemm.ee)

Greatly worded imo.

There are doubts and things we can't understand or explain no matter what we ultimately believe.

I personally left my religion and considered myself atheist but I continued to research other religions and belief systems and happened to have found one that I agreed with on a pretty consistent basis and didn't oppose my other understandings of the world, obviously belief still fluctuates and I do have doubts but on average I believe my religion to be true more than I doubt it.

TLDR: No explanation/understanding is "beyond all reasonable doubt", so "more likely than not" is enough and that happens to be a religious framework for me personally.
