Quebec will now ban street prayers as the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) “super-minister” of identity, Jean-François Roberge, has just passed his bill to strengthen secularism.
So… quantum gravity theory, string theory, unified field theory, big bang theory, big crunch theory, and dark matter/dark energy are all beliefs then and in your opinion should therefore be banned?
Those are a tad further than opinions and feelings I suspect. And also are absolutely unrelated to how religions are generating suffering and should be abolished.
Well you might want to do more than just “suspect,” because according to the definition of “belief” that you provided, those are still beliefs.
Also, the majority of suffering being “generated by religion” are due to religions trying to force their worldview and set of beliefs on others, which is precisely what you are trying to do.
In other words, the suffering is caused because they want to eliminate people who have a different set of beliefs from their own. Again, which is exactly what you’re attempting to do.
Oooohh you just don’t know what words mean. Okay. I’ll let someone with more patience for stupidity handle this. Good day to you.

How are agreed upon definitions remotely similar to religious beliefs ?
Religious beliefs are agreed upon systems of opinions about philosophy. Definitions are agreed upon opinions of what words mean.
Both were constructed by humans to better understand and communicate about our world and our place in it.
