writing?

Hi, Would you please be kind enough to help me correct the writing below?

When three friends, Lam, Malcom and Wu encounter a ghost at a car park, strange things begin to happen. As Lam faces financial trouble when his loan application gets rejected, Malcolm suspects his wife of having an affair with her boss. Meanwhile, Wu is the only one among the three who can see spirits, and he goes around asking every spirit about his father who passed away. In order to survive, they seek a “Shaman's” help. However, why the trio believe in evil spirits yet don't believe in God?

However, the reader wonders why the trio believe in evil spirits, but don't believe in ***. But why does the trio believe in evil spirits, but not in ***? I am taking "trio" as a collective noun, interpreted as plural.

However, the reader wonders why the trio believe in evil spirits, but don't believe in ***.

But why does the trio believe in evil spirits, but not in ***?

I am taking "trio" as a collective noun, interpreted as plural. That is why I used "believe" and "don't" instead of "believes" and "doesn't."

Ok But I would prefer to use "But why does the trio believe in evil spirits, but not in ***?" because it's sound more natural to me.

Would that be an issue if I interpreted "trio" as a singular? Feedback, please.
