The statement is broad as it doesnt say how an individual thinks - more that because everyone does the act of "think" - the statement applies to everyone.
If you think it doesnt include you - perhaps you can explain why you think you excluded?

If you exist - exactly.
A belief of existence is still a belief. A belief in reality is still a belief.
I am not saying dont believe in reality or dont believe you exist - merely recognise its a belief.

A belief that senses represent truth or reality is still a belief. Lol.
And your mind processes the information you receive from your senses and from that youbuild a belief.
