The word 'belief' is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it.

I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.

As I get older I seem to believe less and less and yet to believe what I do believe more and more.

I believe in something, even if it's just me.

It was important to me to believe, because if I don't believe, how can I expect them to believe?

Why should I try to make you believe the things I believe in?

I absolutely don't believe in anything. Full stop. Including luck.

I'm an atheist. I don't 'believe' at all.

And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.
