I interpreted that sentence to mean that the belief itself has no logical basis, not the judgements.

From the standpoint of treating a human being as a rational agent, it makes absolutely no difference whether a judgement is based on feeling, belief, intuition, divine inspiration, etc. All that matters is the decision and the outcome.
