No sorry, you still have it backwards IMO :-) ...

*Believing* that one does want a belief system is itself a system of belief.

Everyone *believes* in something, even if it's that they don't need to believe in anything else other than their own little postulated view of reality.

Show me a person without beliefs and I'll either show you a corpse or someone that is legally brain dead.

(I'm taking belief system as used previously in this discussion as a loose euphanism for religious faith of any sort).

"Not believing" is by definition NOT a belief system. A belief system requires belief.
