Putting high value on one's own beliefs is an extremely risky move. Outside of religious extremists, you will rarely find two people who share the exact same beliefs; beliefs which they have mainly crafted according to their own preferences (by valuing some parts of their respective religious writings and calling other parts symbolic, or even incorrect) rather than believing in what they find more credible.
The end result is that you have billions of people with different beliefs, and that either extremely few or none actually have the correct belief. Heck, all you have to do is assume that humans have altered a single significant part of the Bible (assuming it was true at some point in time) and suddenly everyone who believes in that part have an incorrect belief.
What do I believe? I believe you have a far greater chance of winning the lottery than you have of guessing the truth.
