This describes it for many people, to varying degrees--no pun intended. The other side of it, of course, is the feeling many agnostics or atheists have that those of a religious bent bury their heads in the sand to the obvious because it doesn't and cannot fit their constrained construct of the world around them, as their faith demands it must.
