Huh. That's a pretty open ended definition of a belief system, and it also gives too much credit to plain old "not believing" in something.
I don't believe in unicorns, some other people share my non-belief in unicorns, and this belief informs my lifestyle in the sense that I don't worry about unicorns.
By your definition, this is a belief system, and even a community.
You and I, I assume, share this belief system. Welcome to the flock.
