At what point does my belief become a crime in your opinion? And what beliefs do you hold that I will eventually use against you?

These are hard questions.
They'd be less difficult to answer if you demanded evidence before you decided to believe something.
You know, the way you do with stuff you actually know about, viruses and vaccines.

I thought the debate here had become more about lying about obvious facts, not about someone's beliefs. If a journalist has outright lied about something that is later proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, then yes they should be de-jobbed, disbarred, discredited, whatever we call it. CNN leaking the debate questions in 2016 is one example.
