I think it's safe to say, and you'd probably agree, that people seeing themselves as rational do not see themselves as "filling in the gaps." Our beliefs or lack there of is just how we see the world around us. That's not to say that their aren't gaps and that we actively try to fill them, but I think the gaps that we're trying to fill are our longings for happiness, belonging, and purpose. Obviously, how we view the world has a strong influence on how we go about filling in those very real, very important gaps.I don't see these "gaps" into which I need to fit some sort of mystical functionary.
I expect everyone would probably identify themselves as a "rational" person.
