I would consider myself a sensible skeptic, in that I do not believe in the supernatural, but if I saw something that looked like a demonic possession or a hostile ghost or whatever I would immediately LEAVE.
Like, I can tell myself it was a hallucination AFTERWARDS. I'm not risking my shit on that 0.1% chance I'm wrong about demons.
I think it was Terry Pratchett who wrote that after Blaise "Wager" Pascal¹ died, he had a welcoming committee armed with farm equipment waiting², with someone shouting "this is what we think of wise guys" before the scene bled to black.
Tbs, I would think it's untenable position to live while believing everything, and I'm sure the list of of beings who can detect lip service is rather long as well.

None of what I wrote above should be taken as a critique of your beliefs, or lack thereof.
Just felt like that the sensible "belts and suspenders" -policy of yours is close enough to the Wager (which has been seriously been proposed to me) that it felt like a good idea to write it down in case someone would find it useful.
