Faith isn't alegiance to a dogma in spite of contradictory evidence, it's more of a solution in the absence of evidence. Example:Why not suspend judgement? There's nothing wrong with not knowing yet.
I, as a Christian, allow my belief to wane until it no longer supports my belief. However, I still can call myself a Christian because of my Faith. Faith is completely internal and subjective and is the belief in something, despite lack of evidence. Counter-evidence diminishes my Faith but only indirectly affects my belief in theism if the variable are in place for my working premise to be based off of Faith
