The people I was talking about don't fit into either of those categories - but are more like the person in the interview. They might believe, but the most important part is the community around them and the piece of mind they get. This doesn't make them dumb in my eyes, but completely relatable. It's a bit like selecting a framework to develop an application -- you can do everything from scratch, but your life will mostly be easier by building on top of something else. Granted, this might be a cultural thing and there a cultures where the beliefs are less practical and more intense, including intense studies of holy books. But most people around me that are religious don't do that. It's just been my experience.
