"There is an ethic of believing, of acquiring, sustaining, and relinquishing beliefs – and that ethic both generates and limits our right to believe."

Highlights

  • Belief can be voluntary, but often more like an attitude or state of mind than a decisive action
  • "irresponsible beliefs" [[p.hasExample]] disregard evidence; accept gossip, rumour, or testimony from dubious sources; ignore incoherence with one’s other beliefs; embrace wishful thinking; or display a predilection for conspiracy theories
  • "creed" is a required belief
