> I also believe that I am not conscious (because there would be absolutely no change in my behavior if I was).

Meaning that, from your point of view, the word conscious is
meaningless - since its presence or abscence has no observable
consequences.

You need to do a bit more work on your definition, because for the
moment, saying "everyone is programmed to believe they are conscious"
is also a meaningless statement.
