Often, that means learning what true things to believe.

You don't learn which true things to believe or which false things to disbelieve. You learn (how to figure out) which things are true or false.

It's hard to write a sentence about believing true things that (1) isn't cult-ish and (2) retains the parallelism with the next sentence (which is the more important sentence). Since you think the sentence is misleading, I'll remove it.
