Zone1 Very few people want to know the Truth

And you can't really have much truth without proof.

Actually, you can't have much truth without objectivity. If you want objectivity explore all sides and have no preference for an outcome despite the consequence to yourself or others. It's hard to do but the rewards are immense and powerful. Confront reality. Die to self. It's pretty much what all religions teach even if it isn't obvious that that's what they are teaching.

Their beliefs are their faith , and if they're proven wrong or otherwise degraded , it challenges their faith

Sure and that applies to atheists as well.

The trick is to have no preference for an outcome other than truth. That's when the magic happens... so to speak.
