hmm.... technically it's "holding two contradictory cognitions" in one's head at a time. That causes the uneasy feeling. actually, I'm not clear if the unease is a part of cog dis or just a result of cog dis. I'm betting on the latter...although the distinction is probably moot.
belief in one cognition or the other (or both) is not necessary, only that one person considers both at a time.
Dogma is what is used to resolve cog dis in many cases. Using dogma to resolve cog dis is not a good thing (intellectually), but it is quick and easy.
as for religion, yeah, it might necessarily be dogmatic. but some people can stick to faith and question dogma at the same time.
