Do people understand the word "belief" ?

Dude, I don't know what the hell your crying about, but I'm not disagreeing with anything. I'm simply explaining the components of the word 'belief'. Belief can have many meanings depending on the attribute.

If you have evidence in something then their is no point in wasting your time and energy in believing in it when you can just prove it exists.

Faith and belief are practically the same thing, hence why the word faith is an example given in the dictionary definition for the word belief.

Just to let you know I'm not crying, I'm sorry if it seems that way. I'm just saying that belief doesn't have to do with absence of evidence. You can believe in something without evidence but that doesn't mean the word only applies to that.

Faith is more so believing in something without evidence, it can be belief but they are not necessarily the same.

Fine. I don't even care about this anyway.

"The Grand Inquisitor" would be a nice essay to read for a distinction of belief and faith.

It may or may not be true but it is considered as a fact. Usually drawn from some source of information that they trust.
