Note
Only the countable senses of belief take a plural: things believed, and above all a person's religious or moral convictions, which usually come in the plural (his political beliefs, their deepest beliefs). Belief as a state of mind, or as religious faith in general, stays singular. The spelling keeps its f; believes, with a v, is the verb (she believes it).
