Perhaps that is what you meant...it is NOT what you said.

There is a difference between believing in something & believing that other people believe in it. I was perfectly clear.

Do you believe in Christianity? I'm guessing not. That doesn't mean you deny the existence of Christians.

Clear as mud.

Don't think words games and word salad are going to win the day for you.

You said clearly that you don't believe in QAnon.

As for your example above - Christianity is a religion, a set of beliefs.  Christians are people.

Try again.

Is English your native language? 'To believe in something' means that you believe it exists, not whether or not other people share the belief. I don't believe in QAnon, which is a quasi-religion that posits that the US government is controlled by child molesting Satanists and that Trump and his madhi-esque agent, Q, are working behind the scenes to expose and destroy them. I don't think Q exists, and I think the 4chan posts claiming to be from 'QAnon' that started the whole thing were fraudulent, and that Q is a fictional character. The only belief I share with the QAnoners is the belief that politicians are controlled through blackmail, though I am sure the methods and motivations are far more mundane and bland than the QAnoners imagine.

The only belief you share is the one operative belief...you fucking nut.
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!

I see I've wound up the toy soldier. Why don't you march around with your flag some more, sing a few lines from the Star Spangled Banner and tell me about how much you'd like to kill me again? Unwind your winch.

Equating QAnon to Zionism is a complete disconnect.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

It's not a disconnect, but you probably wouldn't arrive there. The problem, you see, isn't the rehashed protocols of the elders of zion that qanon peddles.

The problem is those godamned zionists!

Mmm...colloquially, to say you believe in something is to say you believe in what that thing stands for. To say you believe in Christianity connotes that you're a Christian. In practice 'I believe in Christianity' is a very different statement from 'I believe Christians exist'. The confusion is honest and doesnt' require lack of familiarity with English. Thanks for clarifying your position.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
