English Synonyms and Antonyms
belief
Doctrine primarily signifies that which is taught; principle, the fundamental basis on which the teaching rests. A doctrine is reasoned out, and may be defended by reasoning; a dogma rests on authority, as of direct revelation, the decision of the church, etc. A doctrine or dogma is a statement of some one item of belief; a creed is a summary of doctrines or dogmas. Dogma has commonly, at the present day, an offensive signification, as of a belief arrogantly asserted. Tenet is simply that which is held, and is applied to a single item of belief; it is a neutral word, neither approving nor condemning; we speak of the doctrines of our own church; of the tenets of others. A precept relates not to belief, but to conduct. Compare FAITH; LAW.
Synonyms:
article of belief, article of faith, doctrine, dogma, precept, principle, teaching, tenet

How to use belief in a sentence?
Mr. Archer is obviously disappointed with today’s sentence, and intends to appeal. It is unfortunate that the judge, who has previously expressed concern that Mr. Archer is innocent of the crimes charged and reiterated that belief today, felt that she was constrained not to act on her independent assessment of the evidence.
Mr. Chow's belief is that during the trial process he wasn’t afforded all of the rights that our system entitles criminal defendants to, he by no means views this as the conclusion of anything and he absolutely maintains his innocence.
Once dead, a body itself is often seen and treated as an object in the West, in Asia, there is a strong belief that one's spirit stays with the body and they are not separated.
He aims to diminish the appeal of the Western democratic model and attempts to undermine America's moral authority. His actions are designed not to challenge our arms at this point but to undercut and compromise our belief in our ideals.
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
