In the final analysis, we no more need to have a "5 levels of belief" than we need a 5 levels of Republicanism or a 5 levels of Libertarianism or 5 levels of Liberalism; these are all just attempts to explain what you don't understand in terms of things you do understand, and I think they are all fundamentally flawed because they are infected by faulty assumptions and gross ignorance about human psychology, the psychology of religion, and social psychology.
I found this very interesting but I was especially inspired to explore this phenomenon in politics, since I can the feel tug to misinterpret the other side more plainly there. With religious belief I don't have a dog in that fight. So I started a different thread to invite discussion on this tangent. Here: http://atheistforums.org/thread-19000.html
