Do you see any benefits to religious faith?

[Silver]

Are there any areas in a human being's epistemic life that require a certain leap of faith and does such a pragmatic approach include any religious propositions?  It seems like there are an infinity of questions--aye, the infinite itself--that lie beyond our ken; does all the benefit lie in a suspension of judgement where we are ignorant, or does belief allow us to move forward in ways that skepticism doesn't permit, and where should the lines be drawn with regards to one's cautious assent to unverified or unverifiable notions?  Wherein does verification ultimately lie?  Is it not as dependent upon our passions as it is on our reasons?

Fancy assessment is easily described with the qualifiers faith and secular faith, and the obvious difference between the two.
