3 Point Merit - Dark Ages or 2 points - Modern era.
You do not much care as to whether or not the Biblical Cain was the forefather of all vampires, whether he was cursed by God or, indeed, if God or Caine even exist. Nor do you buy into the superstitious folderol surrounding the Beast. It is, to you, neither a demon nor some "evil self"; it is simply a manifestation of normal, if dark, human passions, passions exacerbated by the transformative power of the Embrace.
As a result, you find yourself at an advantage in combating the Beast through the judicious application of reason. All of your rolls to resist frenzy and Rotshreck are at a -1 difficulty. Brujah Cainites, though no less capable than any other clan of waxing secular regarding the Curse (and often more inclined to do so,) may not take this Merit.
A character with this Merit may not also buy the Merit Calm Heart.
