I think that's a bit tautological, beliefs are agreeable to you because you agree with them.
It's like when someone sidesteps demands for the reasons for their positions, and they just say that these are the positions that appeal to them.
Of course, and evolutionary psychologist could argue that one's personal feelings are a lot more solid of a foundation than they initially seem, since they are the results of psychological traits that allowed your ancestors to survive and procreate while others had failed to do these things, and that the relative universality of these traits suggests that at some point those who lacked these traits were far less successful compared to those who possessed them.
Serious Debate Thread: What is the best standard for evaluating the justifiability of beliefs or opinions?
Does the belief or opinion as an inherit consequence of that belief or opinion result in a guaranteed death or fate worse than death? If yes than it's not justifiable.
Inherent consequences of course being without human intervention, or with human intervention if the intervention is explicitly done with need.
Two extreme examples of unjustifiable beliefs are the following. Believing you should jump off every bridge you see, will eventually get you killed as an inherent consequence without outside human interaction. Secondly, believing you should murder (to kill without need) every person you come across will get you kill as an inherent consequence with outside human interaction as you have put them in a position where they need to kill you.
You are a living being, your beliefs and opinions should reflect this.
At it's most fundamental it's unfortunately it's neither objective nor subjective but before that; sensed at a preconscious level. Sort of like what makes good art. Life expells the bad and takes in the good.
Although some classifications of ideas can be objectively evaluated. One method is via the filter of a long successful culture.
What action is one willing to personally enact and justify if one disagrees with the belief or opinion in question?
Religious zealots, violent psychopaths and optionless patriots are separated by a very fine line, but the outcomes are the same.
Someone asked once, “What is Justice?” The answer is difficult, but most can agree on “What is perversion of Justice?” even for those who benefit from its perversion

Does a belief lead its believers to prosperity? Then it is justifiable.
