I envy the latter . I am one who has to question everything , who believes an element of agnosticism is no bad thing , and it can be a struggle . But in the end I keep coming back to certain convictions and make the choice to believe . That's when the real battle begins because I have then to live by the challenges my beliefs put before me , or be a hypocrite .

Virtually all religions hold some supernatural beliefs specific to that religion. That is, a religions adherents firmly hold beliefs that conflict with and cannot be confirmed by our experience of the natural world, and that appear implausible to people other than those adherents to that particular religion. No other feature of religion creates a bigger divide between modern secular peoples and believers.
