Also, this 3b-versus-2 division is reminding me that I was curious about a thing you wrote on your own LJ a couple of months back, in which you said (unless I misunderstood) that even when you didn't believe in God you thought it was important to try to believe in God. And I wondered, hang on, why would you think it was important to try to believe in God, if not because you thought he was there to be believed in? (Discounting the possibility that your primary purpose was that you thought the belief would have desirable real-world side effects, on the grounds that I'm fairly sure you'd have said that if it had been what you'd meant.) In other words, must that thought of yours not spring from some sort of meta-"belief" you have at some level even if some other level of your belief was currently missing? I'm fairly sure it would have to if it were me, and I now find myself wondering whether that incomprehension on my part is typical of a type-2 rather than a 3.
