There’s certainly a lot at stake here:
‘Religion spans the gamut from how the universe came to be to where you might spend eternity.’
I agree that the capacity to healthily manage doubt is important.
But it’s more important is to have a good conception of God i.e. 1. the belief that God will let you ‘off the hook’ if you have got it wrong after making a decent effort to find the ‘Truth’ and 2. If you are fortunate to have correctly identified the ‘Truth’ the same mercy you would have received under scenario 1 would apply to others who unwittingly arrived at the ‘Wrong’ conclusion.
