Lol...

Evidence=rational reason to believe something exists.

To believe without a rational reason in the existence of something is then IOW to believe without evidence - that's irrational.
So "faith" BEING belief without evidence is irrational. So the term 'rational faith', WHEN faith is defined as 'belief without evidence' - is an oxymoron.
