We are all irrational to SOME extent at all times I say, and I say to MORE of an extent at SOME times at least.
We are all ignorant about many many things. There is a lot more UNKNOWN than known, a lot more TO know than is already known. We may be 'higher apes' but we're still evolved apes - there is a lot of irrationality in all of us IMO. Even the smartest of us.
We can't always spot it, but if you're ignorant and irrational then it's harder to spot it!
Yes some of us (at least) can be more rational and knowledgeable. But there is of course irrationality and ignorance in all of us to some extent. It's not all black and white - in fact I'd say it's a vast spectrum of rationality/irrationality and ignorance/knowledgeableness.
But faith itself, defined as 'belief without evidence', as I have shown and you say you agree, by that definition - is irrational.
'Rational faith' is an oxymoron.
