How about non-believing psychiatrists who assist in exorcisms? These are scientists.

But they will tell you that something goes on that cannot be explained by science as currently understood.

If they’re assisting in an exorcism they’re believers. And of course psychiatry is a soft science that deals most heavily with the beliefs of the patient. If the patient believes they are possessed then that is the treatment they will most respond to. Doesn’t mean they actually are possessed. Just means that you need the brain to fix the brain.

This is how Scott Peck died. He was a psychiatrist and was observing exorcisms. His motive was not pure enough and he got stung.
