Core beliefs aren't specific in the way you suggest;

Core beliefs are basic beliefs about ourselves, other people, and the world we live in. They are things we hold to be absolute truths deep down, underneath all our “surface” thoughts. Essentially, core beliefs determine how you perceive and interpret the world. They sit in the basement of your mind.

All sceptics? And all of their 'core beliefs'? And isn't that something of a paradox; aren't sceptics known for not believing?
