Good point but that's just the way beliefs work. And most people lack the metacognitive concept of analyzing their beliefs or understand what a belief really is.
It's the definition of a belief. Beliefs are structural components of cognition. But also they are not the same thing as reality.
People should be educated about this concept. Without the education, it is impossible for people to tell the difference between a deeply held belief and reality.
Agreed, but when your own beliefs don't align with the dominant belief structure of society you are forced to confront this genuine diversity quite often.
When you are in the minority, your beliefs are challenged and you get comfortable defending them and getting along with those who don't hold them. The same cannot be said of our liberal order. Some genuine self reflection on the part of our current liberal order is badly needed.
