      No he wouldn’t, his philosophical viewpoint is a belief in itself. So important to him that he revolved his life around it!

      You are assuming that belief = religion, but that’s waaaay off. Belief is anything you don’t know of, and I would argue that there is extremely little we do know at any given point in time. Right now I believe that the window in my room is opened because I can’t see it, and even if I looked at it, I’m believing that my eyes aren’t defying my reasoning.

      Belief is what defines us as individuals, every kind of assumptions we do, anything we try to remember, any intuition we have that’s based on experience aka memory, it’s all small figments of our belief system.
