That sounds like you replaced one belief system with another. It is hard for me to see that one is necessarily better or "truer" than the other.

Trying out belief systems is like choosing programming languages: rather hard to appraise them without actually trying to build something and run it in your wetware computer.

heliocentrism and geocentrism are also belief systems.

it’s choosing one that gives better results (and makes more sense).

you already have an implicit belief system, too
