I don't need to show that. The question is superfluous. No believer needs to prove anything to himself in those terms, or his faith is unfounded/ rather his belief is based upon absolute knowledge. That isn't religious faith.
Whoa.. What Bible are you reading? Nature is not God - God designed nature. According to the Bible, anyway.
And actually, the Bible teaches that we should test and approve our faith, otherwise it really is unfounded. 'Religious faith' is never commended in the Bible.. in fact, Jesus condemned the Pharisees for it, because it is selfish, manipulative, and ignorant, and it leads others away from God.
I'm just pointing this out because your status does say your Christian, and without the Bible as a foundation Christianity crumbles.
EDIT: According to the Bible, 'religious faith' as you are defining it is actually in opposition to God. He would rather someone didn't claim to know God than claim so under false pretense
