I can respect that. I can’t say that I have any strong beliefs either.
But then there’s “keep the bills paid or things will get bad”. But that’s strongly empirically based.
And there are beliefs like “reality is composed of a multitude of things flapping around in time and space” which is popular but stands on the rock of mere convention (ok, maybe it’s deeper than that). And might bear questioning. How strong is my belief there? I dunno.
I assume that our culture delivers a fair sack of authority-based beliefs. It would be nice to get a list.
But then it’s like asking a fish what water tastes like.
I totally understand the nature of your question, but I don’t think you’re going to get much of any solid well founded answers.
It’s akin to asking “Are you in a cult, and what are the beliefs they taught you?”
You’ll almost always get the same sort of answer from either side of the fence, “No I’m not in a cult”, even if the person is totally in a cult and just too blind and brainwashed to realize it.
