That's the atheist strawman definition lol. Within Christianity faith is synonyms with trust.
Within the dictionary, faith as spiritual belief is distinct from faith as trust in the ordinary sense. One word, multiple senses. Treating different senses as though they're synonymous is falling into the fallacy of conflation. When talking about religious faith, intellectual honesty demands that we take care to distinguish it from faith in such things as the sun rising tomorrow, which is a justified inference. Nomad's definition only addresses the religious sense of the word.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
