The conventional preposition for that sentence construction is "in": "Do you believe
in
angels?"
For a quick review of preposition usage, check out "Lesson #7 – The Prepositions Revisited" (
http://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=119.0
), "Lesson #8 – Specific Rules for Preposition Usage" (
http://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=139.0
), and "Lesson #10 – Dealing with the Prepositional Idioms" (
http://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=174.0
). These readings in the Forum should give you greater confidence in your preposition choices. Good luck!
