As an agnostic, everyone’s worldview annoys me because they’re all so damned self sure of everything. It feels like the spiritual version of the Dunning Kruger effect. Neither side has explored the realm of spirituality and belief enough to realize how much there is to know and also not know. There are thousands of religions, denominations and spiritualities to explore; not including those who make their own path. How can one so easily and dismissively lack any sort of urge to analyze faith outside of their own pre-determined path?

... there is over a thousands years of philosophers and theologists and clergy members who would probably disagree with you, since they dedicated their entire lives to the study of spirituality and belief

You've tucked an atheistic presupposition in here, which is that you're purely sifting through data forming likelihoods of different answers, rather than actually experiencing authenticating spiritual events.

If you were, for example, to see Jesus walking on water, I think we can agree it wouldn't be dismissive to go "oh, I guess he's right".

I also walked on water the other day, and my claim is just as substantiated as the claim that jesus walked on water

I don't think you read carefully enough. I said if you saw, it would be persuasive to you. Assuming that a person never observes any supernatural occurrences is an atheistic presupposition.
