Usually, and seemingly in the context of that interview, belief usually means something different from 'my current position.' It does usually imply some sort of rigidity and does imply an unwillingness to change. In the context of current political correctness it also amounts to a request that thee not be challenged too much.
Notice how that word ends that line of questioning as if either, (a) you have arrived at the root cause or (b) the issue is no undependable. Belief (or practical synonyms such as conviction) leads to no more questions. 'I became very convinced that these are correct' would have prompted the question 'why/how.'
