Belief (not just religious belief) ought to be abolished! "Belief, by definition and research, is such that generally permits ignorance of evidence.
Something that generally permits ignorance of evidence, contrasts science.
So, whether or not I exist, belief remains a concept today, that generally permits ignorance of evidence!"
But-
1. All men are ignorant of something even in their fields of expertise.
2. There is no science that has exhausted knowledge of its subject.
3. Therefore there is no science that can be more than belief. It is simply a matter of degree. Firm belief vs. weak belief.
