If liberals ever called their positions "beliefs," they would never be able to force them upon others. Instead, they have to call their positions "fact," or "truth," or "scientific consensus." I suppose that is correct, but it isn't a big reach, to saying something synonymous like "I am convinced of this truth" and equivocating that with a "belief" statement. They slip sometimes. I see Koan criticising right wingers for not believing in science or evolution, and I see him do it often, and comparing the "truth" of science against the mysticism of religion. Maybe he is an exception though, I haven't paid that much attention. I will bow to your statement as the prevailing convention until I actually see some significant evidence to substantiate my worries.
