I’ve been thinking about this for a bit. I think I disagree with the “acting as” part of the question.
When I’m working in the lab, I’m doing science, and when I’m at church I’m practicing my faith, but I think of myself as being both a scientist and a Christian 24/7. Sometimes different questions (how? vs why?) lend themselves to different methods and different language. Sometimes it’s the same question (what does it mean to be human?), but different types of answers (genetics vs. relationships). But, going off of Alister McGrath, I feel like being both a Christian and a scientist gives an enriched view of reality compared to either science or faith alone. I don’t feel like, at least for me, it’s all that compartmentalized in terms of having significantly different belief systems or axioms or assumptions.
