Are beliefs a choice?
IMO beliefs are indeed a choice.
.................
I prefer to "believe" nothing. I execute, operate, perform, and act skeptically on things I decide are useful tentative hypotheses. I never allow "evidence" to force a choice in me to "believe" something. Why? Because I see people believing all sorts of nonsense.
And yes, obviously, if you harbor an a priori assumption about something, that would be a belief. However, to my mind, that is still a choice.
I don't see anything precluding our ability to choose not to "believe" things.
