This resonates with me strongly. I remember reading G.K. Chesterton writing about how the most certain people in the world are locked up in the asylum, absolutely certain of completely false things ("I am Napoleon") while the rational among us grasp even our religious beliefs with a certain amount of healthy uncertainty.
