"I'm unwilling or unable to provide any support for the reality of my fairy tales so I'm just going to call everything a belief" 
It wouldn't matter if someone was interested in conceding such a silly point to you for the sake of argument, you'd still be left holding unsubstantiated beliefs. IOW, your beliefs and the "beliefs" of others are still not equal. But hey, I'll bite, can you find me someone who says "I don't believe in god, therefore materialism is the only reality", or "I don't believe in god, therefore science is the only answer". I'd love to have some fun with a person who thinks that science as an answer follows from "I don't believe in god" or that materialism is somehow dependent on their belief in god. Sounds like two massive non sequiturs to me (but of course your statement sounds like something to me as well).

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
