Most people believe that airplanes are aluminum machines with engines that fly due to some aerodynamic physics. Then there is a minority living in a tribe somewhere doing the cargo cult thing and believing that airplanes are gods coming down from the sky because they have built a pretty enough altar, to give them food and treats. And yet you don't question everyone's belief about planes, even though very few people can explain how actually literal tons of aluminum and gas can get up in the sky.
Holding a minority opinion, believing in something that very few people do doesn't automatically make that belief or idea worth studying. There are many factors and you have only listed "minority/majority opinion" as one. I would argue it is not enough to spark a meaningful conversation. It's not enough to say "I don't believe the same way as majority of people" to make it interesting to discuss and construct complex expensive arguments about.
