I think he rejected his parents teachings because deep down he felt like they didn't love him as their son. As Grisha states when he is recounting his tale he never treated Zeke like a son. He only treated him as a way of restoring Eldia which to be fair isn't a bad goal by any stretch of the imagination but the way he goes about doing it is what ulitimately brings about his downfall and the destruction of the Eldia Restorationists. Currently Zeke is shown to be alot more insightful than the remainder of the warriors in Marley most likely due to him having more experience. But as to whether he believes in the Marleyean propaganda or not. I would say not. Unlike most of the eldians living in Marley he doesn't pivot to the propaganda of self hate most of the eldians do whenever their beliefs are questioned which is why I personally like him. I dont think Zeke looks down on himself or even gives a shit about Marley or Eldia. He just prentends to be an obident eldian because thats whats expected of him. I think what is planned for him is to prioritize his relationship with Eren and "saving him". Whatever that means. Hope we find out soon since his time is running out.
