I don't think this adequately describes the experience or guidance, for a lot of believers. Grappling with unbelief is embedded in the synoptic tradition itself, and so we know it was present and acknowledged at the very earliest beginnings of christianity. Many prominent and highly influential early church fathers wrote about it, and acknowledged belief as an unstable and often fleeting state to be anticipated and received with gratitude. "The silence" of god is one of the most common themes in christian literature. Some churches address it explicitly in their catechism.

The public performance of belief is universal orthopraxy for christians, I think. But privately and with trusted confidants the conversation is far more nuanced than "ignore the weird stuff."
