I don't like to use the word "belief" for stuff that's logical and verifiable. Getting disapproved of for breaking sabbath is testable in a way that breaking contracts with God is not.
Right, but it's still a belief, even if it's a particular type of belief (opinion, in this case).
And when it comes to actual instances of religious practice, the difference between opinion and illogical belief is irrelevant, in this case because the effects of the believed disapproval on our lives are verifiable in each instance.
And I accidentally had misread your "you use the elevator" as "you don't use the elevator," so now I have the same question as Ben.
