There are many different kinds of belief and disbelief existing in the world, but whether they are true or untrue, it's not important for those who want to practice yoga to conquer the restless impure egoistic mind. As all kinds of belief and disbelief are all part of the modification of the mind. And yoga practice is to allow the mind to go beyond all kinds of belief and disbelief, allowing everything to be what they are, without judgment or expectation that everything has to be/not to be in certain ways. More importantly, is not to blind-believing, blind-following, or blind-preaching any belief or disbelief.
The truth of names and forms is not a belief. The truth is just what things are, impermanent and selfless. Regardless of whether the mind believes or disbelieves in something that the mind comes in contact with, the mind can't see the truth of names and forms as it is when it is functioning under the influence of certain belief or disbelief to analyze and judge everything, to act and react complying to those belief and disbelief.
Unconditional peace, unconditional love (compassion) and the ability to forgive and let go something that the worldly thinking mind perceives as 'wrong', 'bad', 'disturbing' or 'hurtful', to surrender/give up all the desires of craving and aversion, and to be free from disturbs, pride, arrogance, offensiveness, defensiveness, dissatisfaction, disappointment, anger, hatred, jealousy, hurts, guilt, regret, painful sorrow, grief, fear and worry, are nothing to do with whether the mind believes or disbelieves in something.
For those who truly want to practice yoga and meditation to conquer the modifications of the mind, it's about going beyond all kinds of belief and disbelief, freeing the mind from egoistic judgment, comparison and expectation based on those belief and disbelief, to allow the mind to see things as they are.
Regardless of all kinds of belief and disbelief, everyone still have to live life as they are, dealing with the truth of impermanence and selflessness of a life existence of the body and mind. The modification of the mind as well as the consequence of all the actions and reactions (cause and effect) of the impure egoistic mind is still what it is. It doesn't determine that everyone who believe or disbelieve in something are all free/not free from ignorance and the suffering that derived from ignorance.
There's nothing wrong with the existence of many kinds of distinct thinking/belief/disbelief. It's just something there influencing how the minds/people think, feel, behave, analyze, judge, expect, act, react and live life.
Different minds/people think, feel, behave, act, react and live life differently from one another. But beyond all the different kinds of thinking, feeling, behavior, action, reaction and way of life, out of ignorance, all beings think and believe that 'I' exist under the function of a thinking mind perceiving a world of names and forms through the senses under the influence of ignorance/egoism/impurities where the mind or what the mind thinks and believes as 'I', constantly acts and reacts restlessly towards all the mind perceptions of names and forms.
All kinds of distinct thinking/belief doesn't change the truth of impermanence and selflessness, or the truth of suffering and the cause of suffering - Ignorance and its by-products of egoism (attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, comparison and expectation), all kinds of impurities, disturbance and restlessness, and the existence and function of an impermanent and selfless physical body of countless births and deaths, of blood, flesh, shit, pee, pus, hunger, thirst, decaying, aging, illness, pain and decompose. The inevitable fundamental suffering of all living beings, hunger/thirst - eat/drink - shit/pee - and repeat, over and over again, until the body stops functioning/existing. It's the truth of the physical body and the restless selfless modification of a thinking mind. All these are nothing to do with the world of names and forms that the mind perceives through the sense, or the belief and disbelief in the mind. Even if the mind strongly believes in 'positive thinking', 'righteousness', 'kindness' and 'goodness', the truth of the impermanent and selfless physical body and the thinking mind is still what it is. Enjoyment and suffering, good and bad, happiness and unhappiness, they all happen in the thinking mind. They exist as part of the modifications of the mind, in the form of thought-current/thought-wave arising and passing away, ceaselessly.
All kinds of disturbs/hurts/disappointment/depression/anger/hatred/jealousy/animosity/fear/unhappiness/painful sorrow/suffering/and etc, exist in the form of thought-current/though-wave.
And hence the teachings of yoga and Buddhism - Annihilate this thinking mind/thought-current, and the world of names and forms, births and deaths, of enjoyment and suffering, good and bad, happiness and unhappiness, cease existing.
