I think beliefs are a part of the human brain. I think some people are wired so that believe in things easier and some believe in things less.
A mix of both is what helped humans evole. Belief in what is taught help keep people safe and belief in less helps us learn new things.
Like how people believed the world was flat. This belief keeped people from going out the sea to never to be seen from again. If there wasn't people that didn't believe then we would be all in one place to never venture out.
So I think belief keeps us safe but stupid and non belief makes us smarter but die faster.
