There is another word for that: gullibility
And usually applies for those whose do not have the determination to inverstigate any topic thoroughly.

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.
You have faith in your imaginary friend but don't want to be deemed gullible? Seriously?
