But this awareness wouldn't have changed your own perspective of the universe in anyway. You're the same as you were before but other people are believing something else relative to you that's the only difference, the difference isn't coming from your end.
You just reject the concept and remain as you were. The rejection of someones concept doesn't mean you formed a new one of your own to counter it. An atheists arguement against religious or supernatural claims comes from this position.
Not every belief is significant to your perspective of the universe. But if you reject it you are still expressing a belief regarding it, whether or not you form a new one of your own.
