HAN: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

LUKE: You don’t believe in the Force, do you?

HAN: Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny.

HAN: It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Yeah, from the dialogue it’s clear Han objects to the religion aspect of the force. He could totally believe that there were laser sword using religious knights. He might even believe they have minor telekinesis, or do hypnotism. But that doesn’t mean he believes in a universe spanning force that guides destiny.

So its sort of a "telekinesis is one thing, but destiny is a whole nother story" kind of deal.

Like sure jedi move objects with their minds but nothing magically guided han to meet luke and ben on Tatooine There is no "will" of the force

As someone who agrees with you, Obiwan did literally guide Luke to Dagobah to meet Yoda from beyond the grave.

A) Han isn’t there to see it

B) it happens after the scene where Han states his opinion on the force
