Of course it could also be humility rather than indifference to truth. Who is to say that any of us possesses the whole truth? At best individuals see only some small part of it. On the other hand I believe very strongly in the utility of many religious virtues, such as charity, humility, forgiveness, etc., because there's abundant proof of their benefits.
