You certainly are... "When a man stops believing in God he doesn't then believe in nothing, he believes anything." Gilbert K. Chesterton "Those thinkers who cannot believe in any gods often assert that the love of humanity would be in itself sufficient for them; and so, perhaps, it would, if they had it." Gilbert K. Chesterton "I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act." Gilbert K. Chesterton

"Wrong....remember belief begins when reason ends...." We believe what we experience, observe, or ponder because it is reasonable to do so. We may have doubts about this or that (When illusion or corruption is in play for example) because we believe it is reasonable to be skeptical at times. Doubt and skepticism are themselves a particular vantage point of belief. Reason and belief are interdependent where all reason is founded upon some fundamental assumption that must simply be taken for granted as true in order to proceed. Reason involves a conscious attempt to discover what may be believed to be true.
