If you're alone in your building on the sabbath and no one's around and you don't believe that using the elevator violates your contract with God... you use the elevator, right?
Right, but note that there's actually still a belief in play: the belief that it's best to not use the elevator on the Sabbath in the presence of disapproving Jews (or for that matter, probably not in the presence of anyone else, either).
Regardless of its content, this is still a belief. It may not relate to the belief of "my life is a representation of God to the world," but it could very well relate to the belief of "my life is a representation of Judaism to the world."
