If you're going to believe in a thing, you should be passionate about that thing. Beliefs are really just stubborn thoughts, when you believe something, you're biasing yourself towards that thing which makes it that much harder to think away from it. The problem is where the stubbornness turns into stubborn ignorance, where you're claiming to believe in a thing while being unwilling to understand or clarify within yourself what it is that you believe.
I don't see a problem with believing in a religious view, for example. The problem comes where one claims to be religious but doesn't follow the view or even educate themselves on it. You should understand why you believe what you do, or else you should be open to what else is out there. That is what I mean by, if you're going to believe in a thing, you should be passionate about it - if not then what is the point in believing it?
