I can suspend disbelief about many things such as ghosts, ESP, etc. but those notions don't affect my life in any significant way. Religious faith is different in that it is about setting aside your doubts and putting you trust in a higher power. Religious faith is a type of belief, sometimes contrary to every instinct, that dramatically affects how someone lives his or her life.
