I am not religious or atheist, I do not believe in any inherent truth of the nature of reality. The only belief that I believe is that no belief can be proved or falsified as “the truth” of the nature of reality simply because of the closed-interior-view of conscious perception of reality. From within consciousness there is no such thing as an “objective truth” and so the only truth is the one that you believe in - whether you are consciously aware of this or not.
Most people hold a belief of reality which they believe is the truth that should be applied to all of reality, from the perspective of any given person. They go to great lengths to defend themselves and to try and convince others who are not in line with their own beliefs that they take to be “the truth”. But there can be no “truth”. It’s only a matter of what you believe in - that is your truth but supposing that it is or is not the truth is completely irrelevant.
It is difficult to communicate ideas about reality to people who have not thought about this and come to this “conclusion” for themselves. Sometimes it seems like no matter how hard you try and explain it, not only will they not understand, they will also believe that you are mistaken, and try everything they can to “correct” you. This is when you change the topic. You plant a seed, and people have to figure things out themselves. That’s the only way you can ever gain an understanding of anything.
