I don't see any difference between an idea and a belief, both are just concepts that a person accepts and subscribes to.

A liberal at some point decided the liberal style of governing fit their world view better than a conservative one. A Keynesianist at some point decided that Keynesian economics was a better theory than the alternatives. A Muslim at some point decided Islam was a more accurate description of God and how he relates to man than other religions.

I don't really see the difference.
