That faith is needed in the religious community reasonably means that zero evidence is in existence to prove god is real.
The leap in logic you made here is VERY perplexing, but I'll answer the original question answered in your thread: faith is more than just belief. There is proof for God's existence in abundance, oh yes, but with all that said, believing in the existence of a God is not what salvation is about. Salvation is about life-transforming faith in the God of the universe (Romans 10:9), belief He is as holy as He says He is, and entering into right relationship with Him from which great works stem. But the faith is the foundation, and you can only have faith in the existence of God by believing He exists, which is only really the beginning of any relationship (think about it, I can't hae a relationship with a person whom I don't believe exists).
I think you and others on this forum would benefit from my YouTube channel. My most recent video was on the tragedy of the Vegas shooting the other night, but if you want, you can just tart with my intro video to get a sense of who I am in all this:
