I don't have certainty in anything, and that's all I can hope you're getting at. A belief doesn't have to be certainty. It's just a way of navigating reality.
Not having peconceptions is good. Accepting that all belief/knowledge is conditional is good. Questioning everything is good. Recognizing that certainty is dangerous, is good. Saying you don't have any beliefs is ridiculous, or at least, it's using a very weird definition for "belief".

I had utilized the topmost google definition:
Belief: an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.

Humans inherently do things probabilistically.
At no time, does any one regard any process as TRUE/ABSOLUTE. (No belief)
We rather regard sequences as LIKELY/Scientifically true.
Keep in mind that existence is at best, fundamentally, of PROBABILISTIC nature.
