A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don’t have any belief, but you will usually find that somewhere down in a human being’s soul there is a belief in something beyond himself. In any case, I would not judge a man’s character by his belief or unbelief. I would judge his character by his deeds; and no matter what he said about his beliefs, his behavior would soon show whether he was a man of good character or bad.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1956-08), “If You Ask Me,” McCall’s Magazine, Vol. 83

Among the calamities of war, may be justly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates, and credulity encourages.

Yes. This. But further…

We should all stop *believing* in anything!

If you 'believe' something, even if it's true, you can just as easily un-believe and believe something else.

I don't believe in democracy. Churchill said it's the worst form of government except for all the others. I accept that analysis, therefore I am 'in favour' of democracy

The scientific evidence points to climate change. I accept the #science, therefore I 'acknowledge' climate change
