There are only two "beliefs" that stand up by themselves.
1. Contradictions do not exist in the real world. Whatever really does exist does not contradict itself.
2. There is a real world outside our sense and outside our bodies that has its own nature which is independent of what we "believe"
Our refusal to be solopsists is an act of faith. But a reasonable act of faith.
