Most theists are quite fond of confusing religious faith with secular faith.
I most certainly have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow, because we have verifiable proof that the sun does indeed rise around the same time each day.
I most certainly do not have any sort of faith that it is by the hand of god that the sun is allowed to rise each day, because there is no verifiable proof of stated god's existence nor any evidence that the deity has any part in ensuring that the sun does daily rise.
