I want to say

> It is unfair to judge other people based on our own belief (not necessarily
> religious belief).

I have two options:

  * Ａ: 私たちの信仰で、他の人を判断するのは不正である。

  * B: 自分の信仰で、他の人を判断するのは不正である。

I want to use B but I am not sure whether 自分 refers to us (the speaker) rather
than the other people (object).

question
grammar
In this sentence, to whom 自分 refers?
自分 usually means oneself and doesn't refer to us. However 自分たち means 私たち and
it refers to us.

answer
I think the word "our", from "our believe" in the original English sentence,
is actually referring to in general, right? If I understand correctly, you are
making a philosophical statement that applies to anyone.

If so, 自分 would be more appropriate.

Also, while I think your sentence would be understandable by a Japanese
person, I am not sure if it is completely natural. I think this might be more
natural, and more general since you said it doesn't have to be just religious
belief:

> 自分の価値観だけで他人を判断してはいけません
