Ehhh... it's really hard to separate the emotional/pragmatic ties to our evaluations as to what is true and not. But given how strongly that changes the answer: I suppose their beliefs must be based on logic (which is to say that they are taken on a circular system of faith that seems to work exceedingly well on all counts).

I'm half tempted to answer that it isn't possible to hold a belief uninfluenced by emotion/pragmatism... but I somehow do not believe that is the answer you're looking for Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
