[QUOTE="Blindwatchmaker, post: 75781994, member: 433382"] The notion of belief I'm referring to is that of holding that a proposition or claim comports with reality. The epistemological framework employed would be testing the claim against existing knowledge (or other beliefs held with a high degree of confidence) and using predominantly inductive reasoning to make an assessment on the likelihood of any claim being true. That is how most people process belief even if they don't know it or label it that way. And everything we know about the neural correlates of belief supports the notion that it isn't a choice.
