Yes, and it's still just a belief. A blind leap of faith, choosing to 
ignore any possible evidence that may show up to the contrary. The 
argument applies to both sides. Black and white, heads and tails. For 
everything that is believed, there will always be at least 1 person who 
has never heard of it and at least 1 person who believes it's polar 
opposite, no matter how much proof and evidence may be presented against 
them.

There will always be some level of balance. The more people there are 
that believe something, the less they have to believe it, to keep hold 
of their 50% weight. If there's just 1 person who believes God is a 
sardine on some moldy old pizza that talks to him and that the earth is 
an inverse loop, which there most certainly is, SOMEWHERE, that's all it 
takes to balance out all those who believe otherwise. That 1 fool will 
believe it to the ends of the earth, no matter what is brought to him to 
say or point out otherwise.
