Not, by and large. Most human non-religious beliefs are based on experience. Most important is the belief that you can accomplish what you plan or predict that you can do. Driving drunk is an example. You predict that you are capable of driving and also believe that you will not get caught. A better example of prediction and control is downhill skiing. Recently a Swiss friend who grew up skiing and believed he could handle any slope, ran into a tree and is now a vegtable. Religious beliefs are much more abstract and less life threatening for most of us.
