Increasingly puzzled by the assertion that rigorous religious scholarship and rigorous religious practice are incompatible... Are there any scholar-practitioners in the academy who are out and proud without facing ostracism? Even worse than what I encountered in the sciences...

Im troubled cause it makes it harder to understans the social function if religion. Like if somebody believed Christians in usa believe “God hates gays” because He actually does, i think they are hindered from understanding the relation of religion and politics in USA.

Again, I'm talking about *practice,* not belief. Even scientists have their own problematic beliefs and tendencies toward confirmation bias. Expressing personal opinions is not the purpose of scholarship. A *practitioner* of a particular religion is not necessarily doing this.
