Surely this is a judgment call based on the strength of conviction of
the individual and just how large the gap is between his beliefs and
the beliefs he would pretend at.
I think a good place to search for past examples of this is in
espionage. What little I know of the field leads me to believe that a
great many spies have been in "deep cover" for years at a time without
switching allegiances. Or at least, that's how it is in the spy
movies and books. :)
