It doesn’t take a leap of faith to say “I don’t know”.
I don’t know what made the univers happen, I don’t even know if the question is valid.
Why would that take me to square-1 as a non believer. Doesn’t have shit to do with gods.
Carry on.

So, sure, if we were talking about believing that you had to wipe your ass seven times, it wouldn’t be completely false, but false enough, I guess. Since we aren’t, it isn’t.
-and you knew that, lol.
That is not a "tic." It's a belief.
You said there aren't ANY beliefs that don't affect others. Of course, we aren't talking about ass-wiping. We're talking about beliefs that don't affect others, of which there are literally countless numbers. My nieces believe in fairies. It has zero affect on anyone's life. My husband believes that The Shawshank Redemption is the best film ever made. It affects zero people. I've made my point using examples of beliefs. I don't know why I have to explain that, but there they are.
Carry on.
