No way. If you cannot ask questions and get reasonable answers - what sense is there to believe something anyway? Fear only goes half the distance as Love. Obligated belief is just another way of saying "Lying to oneself"

No. This could be the other side of coercion if the obligation is toward any human. However, there could be an obligation that could arise after you have believed and experienced the supernatural.

I can believe I am going to win the lottery...that does not make it so. Belief is based on fact, or ones own interpretation of fact. There are those who choose to believe things that have no fact. Those are the traps the devil sets to make one fall for sin. God is a belief that is built on a strong foundation....and like the bible states all other ground is sinking sand.

Belief out of Faith is genuine

Can be but... not in itself no. Sorta depends who you are obligated to I guess.
I'm obligated to me to believe. That would make it genuine doesn't it? Obligated to God would DEFINITELY make it genuine.

A person either believes or he does not.
The why isn't important.

Not if you don't believe in it.
