The whole point of "faith" is that it does not require a reason for the believer.  That's the whole point of it.

Yes.  Otherwise, there is no point in even mentioning faith at all.  If one has actual evidence, one can mention that and use the actual evidence to support one's position.  It is only when one lacks real evidence that mentioning faith serves any real purpose.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
