Options: Religion is a social construct, built by people, usually the rich, the powerful, and the beautiful, but almost as often as a spontaneous to explain a society's relationship with nature and Her 'Maker', whoever that is.
Humans are social animals, needing intimate contact with other humans or animals, and religion is one way of regulating that contact, allowing some things, like Wrestling, and disallowing others, like cannibalism. Yet as ZarathUshtra observed almost four-thousand years ago, religions can easily be manipulated into keeping those in power in power, and everyone else paying the bills.
Now that the words are set up, the rest is opinion and available for discarding.
¿Is it wrong for people to try and change that belief? As in every other philosophical discipline or category, there are no real binary answers here, no 'Yes or no and neither the twain should cross.' If you are talking about intercourse, you state a premise of your culture of faith, and they challenge it, then you can have a powerful or subtle growth opportunity. You might compare the fourfold truths of Buddhism with the fourfold truths of existentialism, and gain insights that shed new ideas for you to sweep up. You can even enjoy a lively, even aggressive exchange of ideas and walk away sweating and spent. Then next time, you choose a new subject.
However, there is a darker side, usually endured by those who are afraid they might not have it right. These might hold a fascist perspective where their view is the only one valid, and yours is wrong even if you are simply using language suitable for New York and them for London. Under such conditions you can test the subject to see if this will be an aggressive sport, or if there is going to be war. Then, you must choose to fight or run. Choose carefully, though. What would it mean for you to win? What would you win? Would you want it?
Hope that helps.

How one can develop belief and what is belief all about?
Everybody has, and needs, a system of beliefs, whether they know it or not. It's a way of perceiving the the world you live in and the life you are part of. Beliefs are usually inherited from family and experience. If you have a religion it's because your family passed it on to you. If you have fears it's because experiences caused trauma. For example, if you were attacked by a dog early in your life, you may now be afraid of dogs because you believethey will attack you. So a system of beliefs is a set of values that you have for the everyday management of perception. Beware, though, beliefs are very important and worthy of revision. If you don't have a firm set of belief, you can hesitate at a moment of doubt. And, finally, beliefs are your choice. Not believing is also a belief! ---- Bismillah Belief starts with realizing (something). When you believe something... it has to be logic (to you) and you have to know it. You can not belief in something if you don't know it, because you simpel don't have the knowledge of it. We can devide "belief" in different levels. first, you have the uncontrolled belief. This is like emotions and instinct. You cannot control them and they have influence on your choises. example: Somebody says: " I don't trust that person, because I have a strange feeling when I meet him." or " I will go that way, My instinct tells me that that is the right way." When you do this, you belief in your (own) uncontrolled belief (your nature) second, we have belief that we are raised in. This is a belief that is very hard to change, because every person is "programmed" , "brainwashed" by the people that raised him or always surrounded him. third, we have belief that is learned to us (or we went to it) and we accepted it. This like religion, ideas , etc. You can devolop belief by always being in touch with different people with different ideas or beliefs. Or by gaining more knowledge.
