This post helps me understand some of the most infuriating phrases I ever hear (which the title immediately reminded me of): “it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you believe something”, “everyone has to believe in something”, “faith is a virtue”, &c. It makes sense that if a person’s second-order belief is stronger than their first-order belief, they would say things like that.
