The Stage is Yours.

[Reforged]

If you'd read my recent posts Raph, you'd have a thorough description of what constitutes faith for me.

Sorry to disappoint on your second point too. I grew up as a child of atheists with atheist extended family and friends. I had no concept of faith at all when I started looking into it as an adult.
I have thought long and hard over many ideas. Therefore my conclusion isn't lightly reached. I know of very many answers, which let's me assert with some confidence what I do.
What considerations lead you to conclude what you do? What alternative would you suggest and why?

Oh I read your description of faith. Its wrong.
faith/fāTH/
Noun:
Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
Strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

I find most people who say they were born atheist and converted hadn't done any research prior to their conversion which is why they were so easy to target and convince.

I was born into religion receiving cherry picked quotes and hymns from age nought and I bought it.
That is until I did something most don't;
I read the Bible cover to cover... and it made me laugh. It was bitter laughter at how stupid, how ignorant, how unquestioning and how barbaric this book actually was and how I had been convinced otherwise. It was so ridiculous it was comical. Then I did some research into other religions and I found they made me laugh too.
We have alot of facts at our disposal and alot of them conflict with what religion has taught and continues to teach. We have alot of questions not yet answered but I am confident that if they are answered it won't be by those who claim not to need proof. It will be by those brave enough to seek out the proof and seek out the answers rather than clutch to the comfort brought by an outdated system of beliefs.
