(35,012 posts)6. This is why I don't like the term 'beliefs'
those are not the same type of beliefs as religious beliefs.
I don't have faith they exist, they are an agenda, policies and laws I wish were followed. They are opinions and views I hold.
This is often used in arguments by believers.
Isn't my belief that my wife loves me the same as believing in God...don't I believe in Obama...and so on.
