How do we try to explain beliefs.....

Beliefs can help us to understand the world around us.  This can be interpreted as a pattern formation.  The ability to see patterns around us helps us to make sense of the world.  Other people are not able to see patterns around us so they get swapped by information, all of which seems equally important.  These people are considered to be in the autism spectrum disorder.  Failure to see subtle patterns leads to concrete mindedness and the inability to understand metaphors.  These people are considered on the Ausberger's syndrome spectrum.  Too much pattern making can lead to people seeing things that are not there, or make links that are not actually connected, some would consider these people to be superstitious or magical thinkers.
Beliefs are driven by parts of the brain that works with the emotions, not the rational part.  Belief activates the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which processes reward, emotion, and taste.  While disbelief is registered by the insula, which generates feelings of disgust.  This is where we have to be careful to understand the way that people think and how their belief systems are what they have learned or experienced in life.  We are not all the same.

What ever your belief system, know that LENS can help to get the brain up and running in a short amount of time.
