The Dwemer did not dispute the existence of gods, since they manipulated the heart of one they clearly must have accepted their existence. In 'Azura and the box' it is stated that they believed that divine power had limits. The Dwemer mocked Deadra worship, but Julianos is an Aedra of the exact sphere of influence the Dwemer embraced. I just think there's too much coincidence between the Dwemer reading Elder Scrolls and embracing reason and logic, and the fact that in Cyrodill the Elder Scrolls are guarded by followers of Julianos, the Aedric god of reason and logic.

The Elder Scrolls 'exist outside of time', and thus seem to embody the limits of Akatosh's divine power, wich is time itself. Both The Dwemer and the Moth Priests devised means to read them without instantly going completely blind, arguably through means of reason and logic.

The Psijic endeavor? As far as i understand, after the divergence of mer races their cultures and organizations changed, and some thought this to be detrimental and formed the Psijic order to 'return to the Old Ways'. The Dunmer were heavily influenced by the teachings of Boethiah, and clearly strayed far from the psijic endeavor.. The Dwemer on the other hand endeavored to return to Aetherius, wich is possibly the epitomy of Psijic endeavors.
