RE: Believe:

I think it is because belief (rightly or wrongly) is linked to the word faith. When someone says they belive something then it suggests that they are not 100% sure (or they would have said they KNOW something). This would mean that they have faith that their conclusion is right, despite not having 100% certinty. As faith is wrongly labeled as firmly in the domain of religion, scientific theories etc seem to avoid the word 'belief' because others would see some kind of link with blind faith or religion, which people wish to avoid for whatever reason.
