To give a reason is to express a belief.
No. To give a reason is to justify why you lack a belief. That is not expressing a belief.
Believing in a claim is to become convinced that it is true. The only way you could say that it is expressing a belief is in the sense of "I believe the claim has not met its burden of proof".
"Faith is the excuse people give when they have no evidence."
