All beliefs are ideas, but not all ideas are beliefs. Definitely two very different broad and vague terms with no real universal definitions...

It is impossible to 'force' a belief or an idea on anyone, as NoS is a prime example. People choose their core understandings based on faith, which tends to be more open-ended and uncertain than a belief.
