We are considering, alla Wittgenstein, the 'logical grammar' of 'believe  
in'.

Geary wrote:

"I've always believed in socialism, of course,  but now I'm a real live 
rooting-tooting socialist." 

In a message dated  7/15/2013 10:22:20 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, 
rpaul@xxxxxxxx proposes to  replace Geary's socialism by "JL" and writes:

>I've always believed in you, JL.
>Robert Paul
 
One problem here is that the above allows for the variant:
 
"I always believed you, JL".
 
whereas, "I always believed Socialism" is a bit of a stretch.
 
Note that while 'socialism' is a common noun, "JL" isn't.
 
There may be other variants. Or not.
 
Of course, seriously, Geary makes an interesting point. By stating that he  
always believed in Socialism, he means that he took Socialism as a 'creed' 
(from  Latin, 'credo', I believe). By now stating that he is a "real lived  
rotting-tooting socialist" he means that he is _living_ the creed.
 
Google.com tells us that there are circa 22.700 hits for "living the creed" 
 -- the first page below may help. Or not.
 

Cheers,
