From a scientific perspective, it's unhelpful. But then I'm not talking science. You are.
No evidence=no reason to believe what you believe in exists. So if you believe anyway, if you believe 'on faith' - the point is that's totally irrational. Because if there's no evidence then it means there's no actually valid indication that whatever you believe in actually exists ("God" in this case of course) - because if there was an actually valid indication it would in other words be evidence. It's totally irrational to just believe anyway. Believing without evidence is irrational so believing 'on faith' is also irrational therefore - and, ergo; you have no more or less objective bearing on your God than on any other (zero in every case because there's no evidence in every case).
