When you get near 100% confident in a belief, you internalize it, which means it sinks into the unconscious. To hold a belief consciously is to hold it with non-trivial amounts of doubt. The doubt level of stuff you say tends to be matched. We rarely mix confidence levels.

Or performative doubt-hacking. What better way to convince yourself of something than act as if it's true and see whether you get away with it? I think there's a certain personality type that doesn't even see the difference between that kind of truth and the regular kind.

The word "believe" only exists in English as far as I know. In multiple dictionaries it's defined as "thinking something to be true regardless of it's truthiness". Or something along that lines. I am not harping or griping, it's just hard to understand it for non-native speakers

Origins are Latin I think. It's used in Bible a lot. I don't know much about it's historical usage either but I think Christianity popularized it.
