Yes, that's precisely what I am saying. The notion that belief must only stem from evidence, or evidence trumps all other sources for belief, at least evidence by any conventional definition, is not inbuilt into the human mind.
People base belief on all sorts of psychological factors which can drive belief more strongly than any conventional, even fairly loose definition, evidence.
It requires a series of decisions to belief according to what evidence by conventional definition would appear to dictate.
