Maybe few categories for belief systems are as diverse as religion but I can think of a few where many different beliefs coexist and compete. Humans are messy and complex.

b]Art[/b] (beliefs about art range from seeing it as a purely aesthetic experience focused on form and composition (Formalism) to a means of expressing personal emotions and ideas (Emotionalism), seeing art as a reflection of reality (Imitationalism), a tool for social change (Instrumentalism), and a way to connect with spiritual or religious concepts (Spiritualism)

[b]Philosophy[/b] (dominated by men and a preponderance of dry materialism but still many different approaches to exploring what is good and what is right (ethics) and how we know what we know (epistemology) and theories for reality.  Different Beliefs include Rationalism/ Logical Positivism/ Phenomenalism/ Stoicism/ Existentialism/ 
Humanism/Utilitarianism/ Pragmatism/ Metaphysics/ and Axiology)

[b]Psychology[/b] many different beliefs and focuses (Psychodynamics/ Humanistic/ Evolutionary: Behavioral/ Biological/ Cognitive/ Sociocultural/ Behavioral neuroscience/ Cross-cultural perspective/ Functionalism/ Gestalt psychology/ Structuralism)

[b]Medicine[/b] (western medical specialties, many different forms of alternative medicines, and Eastern medicines. Further religious and ethnic beliefs strongly how patients experience medical practices. For example female gential mutilation is performed by many medical doctors in many African countries and some Asian and Middle East countries

[b]Gastronomy[/b] (choosing, cooking, and eating good food.) beliefs vary widely depending on culture, religion, and personal health convictions, including ideas about what  "healthy" eating means, the significance of local ingredients, dietary restrictions based on religious principles, the importance of presentation, and the role of food in social gatherings and celebrations.)

[b]Fashion[/b]
(Don’t know much about fashion but obviously many different beliefs about what looks good abound)
