Perhaps a better scheme would be divided between strength of
conviction, perceived evidence and theistic view. The irrational
people are those who hold strong convictions in the absence of
evidence, regardless of what they believe in.

(then we can get Bayesian about it and start to think about what
priors to use and so on...)
