Cosmic, LOL

How very condescending of you. Unfortunately what you 'believe' has very little bearing on the reality of the question.

Belief is the acceptance, as truth, of any cognitive content unsupported by fact.

Cognitive content that is supported by fact is considered knowledge.

So reality breaks down fairly simply into the known and the unknown. People who are uncomfortable with the unknown, quite often populate it with their own version of what they would like it to be. In other words they believe.

You are an accomplished believer, and even though you consider yourself to be open minded you are limited by your belief structures. Since you can't conceive of an alternative paradigm, you necessarily project your world view onto others.

best regards,
