Maybe, I didn't know quite what to make of it. I'd agree that religion is faith position (no evidence required)

To state something as fact (math excepted) requires evidence.
You have faith in something without evidence and you could argue that I have faith (not-religious) in something (the scientific method I suppose) ... the difference is that my "faith" in given explanations is supported by evidence and will vanish once that evidence dictates otherwise which makes it, clearly, a non-religious position ... not sure why you think it would explode in any way.
