The acceptance of something as true or real, even if it's a lie, is false, is wrong, is a faith that can't be proven, not all beliefs are untrue, and it's especially the case when you have evidence to back up your beliefs.
Belief: you're all zombies except for me, in fact because of you treating me painfully you don't feel pain, I do, and harming you is imprudent.
Fact: all my beliefs are true.

Whether your belief is correct or incorrect according to someone else's information, you still stand for it if it's what you believe to be true, since the alternative is falling for anything anybody else tells you, whether it be the government, healthcare, scientists, the media, or somebody you never met on facebook.
Nobody should try to dissuade or discourage somebody from a belief. At least there are still a few people still resisting the urge to fall back in line for a vaccine even when they're outnumbered by people in line to do what they are told to do next.

'Belief' is the adoption of a position or attitude DESPITE the evidence, and comes perilously close to a working definition of 'insanity'. Thus, if we say we admire a person because "he stands up for his beliefs", we actually admire his compulsive commitment to his own contrived insanity. BELIEF is the nucleus of all conflict and wars. Evidence and logic are the dual pathway to sanity and peace.
"We must respect all beliefs"... meaning, we must comply with all departures from evidence and logic, which explains why we are increasingly at war.

A belief is a group of people who all believe in the same thing created from the idea of another man carried down through text or scripture

I think your fridge analogy involves a failure to compartmentalize between different types of behaviors. For example, I can say that I am 100% certain that my friend wouldn't randomly punch me in the face (unprompted). But if he drew back and feinted a punch and I were to flinch you could say "If you were 100% certain why did you flinch?" But that's more of a reflex in response to stimulus than it is a deliberate act in accordance with a belief. If I sacrifice a goat because I believe a reality monster is going to reward me, that is a deliberate act in accordance with an articulated belief. So it's not quite the same. So, as it relates to your fridge analogy, you could be certain that there is no food in the fridge but in response to hunger you could check the fridge anyway out of compulsion. There could even be an element of conditioning involved. You're hungry. What do you do when you're hungry? You check the fridge. You know there's nothing in the fridge because you didn't buy any groceries. But you go to the fridge anyway because you've conditioned yourself to check the fridge when you're hungry. Reflex, compulsion, conditioning could all be considered "A-belief behavior." You can believe it's wrong to masterbate in public but if you're a compulsive masterbator you might end up doing it anyway.
Hym "Ha! Did a guy write a paper about that belief thing? The Jordan Peterson in reverse thing? Does my thing predate his? Probably. That's hilarious! How many PhDs would I have? More than David Buss? He had a lot... So... You know... Go forth! Make sure I have more PhDs than David."
