What kind of defective reasoning is this? This is why I lack belief that there is anything rational about atheism.
Also, any imagined cognitive dissonance is purely his own fantasy. It's predicated on a definition of faith that only works if you ignore the evidence and beg the question. And this can be demonstrated as true.

Faith is an unreliable epistemology. It is a study of "knowledge" (the definition of epistemology) that doesn't exist. It is a study of fairy tales and lies, and giving belief in something that doesn't exist "virtue" because you're being a good obedient little sheeple. Faith is saying you know something that you cannot know. It is lying and calling it holy.
These are myths perpetuated by the secular priests teaching atheistic dogma.
You're in a dream world buddy. Let's go into the real world.
Faith is not an epistemology period. If you want to criticize faith as Christianity understands it, you have to look at how Christianity understands the concept of faith.
And you (just like Bogo the clown) don't understand it.
The question is, are you willing to educate yourself or are you content to wallow in your ignorance?
Pick education. Pick reason.
