Do you consider your beliefs to be exclusively right?

    I'm not alone in them, so they are not that exclusive.

    But provisionally right, yes.

    Who, short of social compulsion or putting tradition ahead of fact, holds to beliefs they do not think are true?

    And there is a degree of exclusivity in that I do not hold that mutually incompatible viewpoints can both be true at the same time. For two people holding such, at most one can be right. Both may be wrong.

    The idea that something can be "true for you but not true for me" is very mistaken, subject to the caveats below.

    A lot of the time this is not a simple binary choice. Views may be only *apparently* contradictory due to varying use of language and concepts. Or only partially at odds. And very few things are known with absolute 100% certainty.

    (Lots of things are quite reasonably treated as 100% certain, for practical convenience, in most circumstances. This is not always remembered when the exceptional circumstances arise.)

    No I don't think that way. Different belief systems offer a chance for every type of personality to advance within a system that they prefer.

    I don't even think any of my beliefs are exclusive at all.

    As an Agnostic Deist, yes. Everyone is wrong except for me.

    no i actually question my own belief frequently. i think if you don't, and you think your beliefs are exclusively right you are setting yourself up for failure.

    Nope: if anything they lean slightly to the left, although for the most part they are generally centrist.
