No, it means you can believe any damn thing you want to and whinge when people ask you to justify that.
There is another word for that: gullibility

Example:
If I hadn't had faith in my math teacher I would not have allowed him to teach me pythagoras theorem.

So if I have faith in the church I allow a certain group of people to teach me about theories that are connected to existential problems.
I do not have to accept any theory or believe anything I am not sure of. If I do not know something I just say so. Faith is the thing required to walk the distance between supposition and knowledge.
