Beliefs

How can I hold a belief without making it immune to questions?

Beliefs can concern evidence, values, identity or faith. Those kinds of claims need different forms of examination. We can ask what supports a belief, what it means to us and what follows when we act on it. The framework protects freedom of thought while inviting accountability for claims and conduct that affect others.

A question to sit with (optional): Is this a factual claim, a value or a conviction, and what would count as a good reason for it?
