I wouldn't have a belief if I didn't join in, or if I said I think there's something a bit silly about it all. That opinion is just the default setting everyone would normally have.
Yes, you would. If you think that this outlandish claim is not true then you do have a belief regarding it. That being the default position does not exempt it from being a belief.
Hang on, wait a second, not believing in the Loch Ness Monster is a belief?
