So there is a kind of faith that is reasonable and how do You determine if a user of a religious system is using the word in the right way?
Is it not like making the assumption that You can read my mind when You imply that I am using the word faith in the "blind hope" meaning? This is a presupposition too - in my opinion its much more absurd to believe that You know that I believe in fairies than for me to use a word (GOD) in my active vocabulary in a way that makes sense according to the rules of logic.

Now we have a milestone.
It turns out, that You could potentially build senteces with the word God in it that are perfectly fine if it comes to logic and making sense.
Agree?
