When religious doubt affects mission-driven business partnerships

My cofounder and I built our startup around Islamic principles but I'm having serious doubts about my faith, and our investors and customers were attracted to our religious values-based approach. We're about to make major hiring decisions and I don't know if I can authentically represent what we've built while I'm questioning everything.
