Right, but if I had an effect that depended on massed belief, I'd be pretty sure that existed too.
Say, Discworld-style gods.
(Things that depend on individual belief generally have a low enough prior that I'm probably dreaming/hallucinating, and also I can't tell myself to stop believing in things so whatever it is I think I'm doing it's not "not believing in X".)
