Well, I think "faith" in the religious sense is a coping mechanism for when our species was young and didn't know any better. Our reasoning processes were just beginning to develop. We had questions, but no answers, so we had to come up with our own. But our reasoning processes have continued to develop. They're getting more advanced, and they're starting to yield answers to our questions. Faith is obsolete, and only continues to exist because there's still way too many human beings on this planet that are either idiots or they want everything to be simple and easy and lacking complexity. Shallow-minded fools, essentially.
