In my experience, there are two things that evidence to me that such is not the case.
First, people often say they believe something, then go on to take actions, or say other things, that contradict their statement of belief.
Secondly, in my experience, those who truly have conviction in what they believe, rarely evidence a need or desire to convince others. That is to say that, most arguments people make about what they believe, often seem to devolve into "convincing themselves" that what they are saying is in fact true.
