My friends and family all support research and facts and are willing to accept any that challenges their preconceptions.

So you might say that this is a trait that is considered essential for being a good member of your social group?

I would say so. I would also say it's an important part of being an intelligent, rational individual, personally.

It sounds like your group wouldn't readily welcome a member who wasn't an intelligent, rational individual. I wonder, if a current member experienced a crisis that led them to a kind of blind, irrational faith, would they still be equally welcome?

Probably not, but I would definitely try to understand what led them to that faith.
