I think forming a belief may be considered a kind of action, and I suppose believing might be considered a kind of action (though I think my belief that p can be non-occurrent or dispositional, so that my believing that p need not be something I'm actually
doing right now), but I'm not sure how a belief by itself could be considered an action. My belief that p doesn't seem like something I
do, but more like a mental
feature of me, at least in the way that analytic philosophers think of beliefs.
