(Slightly off-topic) In a graduate theological program I was introduced to the idea of "second naiveté." Simply, if the faith we inherit is a naive one and a process like a graduate education deconstructs such a faith, second naiveté looks like a choice then to return to an assembled faith held in tension with the modern criticism used in the deconstruction.

It's an intensive and disruptive process that I'm not sure many want or are able to go through, but I wish would. The key here is to walk through the entire process (one which is actually cyclical in my opinion) with the individual. Anything less seems malicious or inconsiderate at best. Said another way, to destroy someones worldview or belief system (even flawed or dangerous ones) and not help them rebuild something is not going make the world a nicer place to live in.

The point of this was to learn how to question decisions at work, and doing so in a way that you will be appreciated. The god believe was just an example of a believe that usually is hard to challenge.
