If belief is power, then you'd just allow the players to use belief-related abilities to affect the world around them. No need for a stretch, or for a separate ability - belief *is* power, so it's the same ability in HQ terms.

To do that mechanically, you'd need something like the community support table from HQ1, but a more HQ2 approach would probably be to allow the community to augment the relevant actions of any individual they happen to agree with. The community's augmenting ability would be determined either by giving it appropriate stats, or by the Pass/Fail Cycle, depending on what you want.
