Yes, I agree with you. Belief system is a good way to frame it.
I would also say that bashing the whole system should be allowed, if the poster does so in a respectful and meaningful way. Maybe someone who has had terrible experiences with psychiatry or therapy needs to vent, and needs to seek support in that way.
