Well there is the biblical definition and we are speaking in a biblical context.
Hebrews 11
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Based on this definition of faith from the KJV of the bible the substance of faith are the things we hope for.And this is evident in the things not seen.In other words we hope there is a loving and caring God and based on that hope we accept it as fact although we cannot physically see it.
Voluntary ignorance.
You are right though once someone is indoctrinated in religion it is hard to wean oneself from it.Especially if it was a way of life for you.I know I lived it and thankfully I was strong enough to break free from the addiction of religion.But it was a slow and arduous process.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
