A belief is. FIRST AND fOREMOST I'd like to state there are two realities. One being empirical the other being perceptual.. Based on facts and scientific theory not assumptions or wishful thinking but facts. The other is perceptual which is not founded by facts, unless used in biased confirmation . It's what one hopes to be true ,wishes or taught to be true, indoctrinated to accept as fact But the reality of a belief perceptual filter is its how you view it not what really is in fact. Beliefs are merely perceptual filters to view things to try to justify some experience you may or may not have had. People that say they know their belief is truth just means they've accepted that view despite any evidence to prove they are wrong Don't get me wrong beliefs can be useful for example. If it's cold outside but you step into the belief so immersed it's a warm sunny day . The unconscious mind will say Ok ill validate that belief And the placebo takes effect and yuu actually experience heat as if it were warm. A self hypnosis. Some people lose sight it is just a belief not a fact And get stuck In them. Losing their freewill. Freewill is being able to suspend your belief and look at things a different way like a scientist would there is truth how things actually are vs beliefs , how you personally view something to justify something you really don't know the answer to
I think reality is belief in what is to be. Andmy response is
what you wish or been taught to believe but there is actually whats happening which is backed by the scientific method

Belief - illusionistic
Inner sense of devotion and/or trust in something.
My belief that everybody is going to be judged of what they do is certain.
'Belief' is the adoption of a position or attitude DESPITE the evidence, and comes perilously close to a working definition of 'insanity'. Thus, if we say we admire a person because "he stands up for his beliefs", we actually admire his compulsive commitment to his own contrived insanity. BELIEF is the nucleus of all conflict and wars. Evidence and logic are the dual pathway to sanity and peace.
"We must respect all beliefs"... meaning, we must comply with all departures from evidence and logic, which explains why we are increasingly at war.
(v.)
1. To try to spread a belief, that isn't exactly wrong and just different than others, (i.e. veganism or politics) and if one doesn't exactly agree with said belief, publicly shame them as if the person is bad/toxic.

Person B: Well, yes but-
Person A: OMG YOU WOULD EAT A KITTEN?!?!?
Person B: Stop.
