I think the point being made is that all people believe in things that they do not have explicit evidence for

I kinda don't though, I believe in the possibility or, if it can be calculated, the probability of things for which there is as yet no concrete proof, but I only really believe in that which can be empirically reasoned or demonstrated. Religion seems to inherently consist of a belief in supernatural forces whose existence has to be taken on faith, whereas I don't believe in anything like that.

everyone actually does, probably the most prominent example is that we defer frequently to experts that we assume know what they are talking about in various fields and occasionally with the passage of time are proven wrong
