The accusations of being illogical would be thrown at those who rejected the logical proof.
And this is the basis for religious belief VOID. How can you think the whole framework of religion could work if you discounted faith? No, the point is that faith is the core idea to religion. If we could verify any of it then religion as we know it would be completely superseded. What you're talking about isn't religion.
There are logical reasons for faith. They by their nature defy conclusion, because like I've said above, that wouldn't be the God of any religion.
