Also,
The Church of Reality is a religion based on the practice of Realism, believing in everything that is real. Our motto is, "If it's real, we believe in it." Since no one knows all of reality, the Church of Reality is about the pursuit of reality the way it really is. We commit to being intellectually honest with ourselves and with others so that we can cut through the mythology. We want to know about the way things really are in the real world.
[...]
The point here is that gravity is real and it doesn't need you to believe in it to make it real. Gravity doesn't require your faith, it doesn't love you, and it treats everyone equally all the time. When you stop believing in gravity, it doesn't go away.
Believing in something doesn't make it real. If something is real its reality doesn't depend on belief. Therefore, if you believe in something that is real and I don't believe in it then you are right and I am wrong. My belief, even if I believe strongly with all my might doesn't make it real.
