It seems that you are under the impression that founding anythign on faith requires suspension of logic and experiential evdience. Is that your stance?
Since you asked a direct question.. I will answer.. but I'm wary of doing this with you, specifically, since the last dialogue we had you asked me to present my point.. A point which I deliberately and purposefully stated in multiple posts prior..
To answer:
- Evidence – Empirical data derived from scientific methods
- Faith – “Belief” stemming from an authoritarian relationship with one's belief in god in the absence of empirical evidence
- Religious Thinking – The worldview based off of faith that one’s belief in and understanding of God is the source or root of all things.. and that theophanies are evidence of God’s existence or guidance from God.. and which are the psychological basis (window/framework) through which one interprets and draws conclusions about reality..
