Faith=believing something to be true with the only evidence being perceivable by those who follow the same faith.
In other words, being really really gullible.
People used to worship the sun. They had faith and believed it was a god. People used to worship the moon. They had faith and believed it was a god.
Then some smarter humans figured out that one was just a star and the other a big rock that orbits the earth.
There are countless such examples of false gods and prophets throughout history and yet each time, the faithful believed they had found the “truth”.
I believe more in the human capacity for ignorance and inability to admit when we’re wrong.
But your religion is different, sure.
