Obviously wrong

when you talk about belief, it is always “belief in”, never “belief of”.

"The belief in equality between parents and children" means that (someone) believes that parents and children should be equal.
"The belief of equality" means that equality believes something, which doesn't make any sense.
Let me make up another example.
"The belief of Americans in equality" means that Americans believe that people should be equal.

@flowerpunk I don't know whether you understood me. You can't say "the belief *of* equality" because that's nonsense. Equality can't believe anything.
But you can say "the belief of (someone)", which means the idea that someone believes.
