If you'd read my recent posts Raph, you'd have a thorough description of what constitutes faith for me.
Sorry to disappoint on your second point too. I grew up as a child of atheists with atheist extended family and friends. I had no concept of faith at all when I started looking into it as an adult.
I have thought long and hard over many ideas. Therefore my conclusion isn't lightly reached. I know of very many answers, which let's me assert with some confidence what I do.
What considerations lead you to conclude what you do? What alternative would you suggest and why?
