Much linguistic evidence supports the view that believing something only requires thinking it likely. I assess and reject a rival view, based on recent work on homogeneity in natural language,according to which belief is a more demanding attitude. I discuss the implications of the linguistic considerations about believe for our philosophical accounts of belief.
