As a first approximation, I define "belief" not as the object of believing (a dogma, a program, etc.) but as the subject's investment in a proposition, the act of saying it and considering it as true.

The church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.

A religious life is a struggle and not a hymn.

As you know, God is generally on the side of the big squadrons against the small ones.

The trace left behind is substituted for the practice. It exhibits the (voracious) property that the geographical system has of being able to transform action into legibility, but in doing so it causes a way of being in the world to be forgotten.

Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
