Donuel, going back to your op, I'd 'parse' that a bit more. I think it is more like people often don't distinguish between feelings (emotions) and thoughts (cognitions.) Then, they often don't recognize the difference between belief and fact. Beliefs are not limited to religion, spirituality or values.

I listen to way too much news radio on NPR. Often I notice how even very erudite experts who are being interviewed will say "I feel..." instead of "I think...," when what follows is clearly the expression of a thought or observation.
