Is belief toxic for your brain?

Belief in nonsense/religion is toxic.
In addition though, it appears that the very concept of belief is inescapably toxic:

    (1) Belief can include non science, while science cannot.

    (2) “..that flat earthers exist, (i.e. beliefs in supposedly flat earth) does not disregard gravitational theory, and that scientists believe, does not suddenly change the behaviours of equations in scientific descriptions.”

Final-note:

Belief's backwardness, as shown in science source:
