If I had to say I had faith* in anything, it would be the scientific method - I apply its philosophy* to all aspects of my life - It's an easy way for me to judge what is and what isnt true.
The simple question of 'has it been scientifically proven' is at the front of my mind whenever I am exposed to any new(or old) idea, and if the answer is no I am immediately skeptical.
I am interested to know if all non-believers in god are also non believers across the spectrum, or if there are grey areas and why.
Are there any atheists out there who live by the horoscope, or like to visit a local medium and speak to their late grandmother? Any fundamentalist believers who outright reject homeopathy as claptrap, and think that reiki is a scam?
Or is there a direct correlation between theism and a general sense of belief in all things?
* The words 'faith' and 'philosophy' might not be very appropriate here, but my vocabulary lacks any suitable synonyms
