I am with you, minimus. Except for death and taxes, of course.
In my opinion, belief systems, by their very nature, usually exclude having an open mind. I listen to all; some ideas seem to make sense and I stick them in my file of possibilities, some I reject outright. Life is one big learning experience.
I guess if I believe anything, it is that ultimately 'all you need is love'.
Edited to inject my two favorite quotes on this subject, both by Walt Whitman.
*Re-examine all that you have been told ... dismiss that which insults your soul.*
*Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.*
