Sorry, but religion has nothing to do with beliefs. Why do people always mix those? There's also a difference between stealing for hunger and joining a drug cartel. You join a religion and take over their "beliefs".

Religion is for the mentally handicapped who can't think for themselves but need a group who tells them what to think. So they feel "connected".

Besides that intermixing of terms, you're not wrong. Have a belief. We all believe something, even if it's nothing. I even love talking about people's beliefs. As long as they're in no cult (or religion), as i don't want to interact with those. It's like talking with a plant.
