Well, as you have explained yourself, you believe in the hope you may find out in the future your beliefs may be true. Thats wishful thinking you are engaged in. My standards are higher than that, especially when it comes down to the origin/originator of everything.
Regarding the content of your beliefs, i am not particularly interested, given the lack of standard for believing on your side. I simply do not have enough time to listen to everyone who is engaged in wishful thinking.
Any standard of any type even remotely worthy of the name standard is higher than that.
As a reason to believe there is actually nothing that can even theoretically be worse than faith. It encapsulates in one word every last wrong reason to believe, and exclude every last right reason to believe.
Every other bad reason to believe is just a subset of faith that manages to miss out on a few of the bad reason to believe.
