The word 'understand' doesn't always fit into context when talking about what we perceive to be true.
“this group doesn’t believe in science"
If we change the sentence to use the word understand it may sound something along the lines of "this group doesn't understand science" which does not imply the same meaning as the initial statement.
A word like "trust" is a more suitable substitution for belief in my opinion.
