Your logic isn't working Evie. Faith isn't "irrational belief" because it has no evidence. That's absurd. Belief can have no evidence either! You're not allowed to define belief differently from the rest of us. You don't make the rules. We use a common language which we have to agree on, or we can get no-where.
No, you can't believe in a 'fact' on faith. That's another oxymoron. If it were a fact, you wouldn't need faith to believe in it. You wouldn't need to 'believe' it... because you'd know.
A rational belief can never have fact or certainty. You want fact or certainty for belief! Like I said, you're going to have to dismiss belief as well as not meeting your requirements for understanding this. Although this is precisely the subject you're addressing. You want to talk about God and religion but you can't accept belief or faith. Religion, being about belief in God, is beyond what you're prepared to think about.
"belief without evidence" another oxymoron. belief HAS TO BE without evidence. You can't dismiss something from it's definition.
Your whole anti religion stance is totally unsupportable and illogical.
