Maybe it’s the cognitive dissonance, because a good rationalist shouldn’t believe in a god?
I still don’t see how that follows. Rationality can show that certain potential gods very probably don’t exist (e.g. Thor), but I think that’s as far as it goes.
I don’t argue here it’s rational to believe that god doesn’t exist. I argue that there a tribal belief among rationalists that part of being a good rationalist mean to be an atheist or teapot agnostic.
Ratioanlists who hold that tribal belief might experience cognitive dissonce when they have to put a percentage on the chance that God exists.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.
