For example, if you believe that other people have minds, then you do so in faith, because there is absolutely no way to know for certain. Claims to the contrary already assume what they try to prove.

There you go again, making your own definitions for words.

Main Entry: 1faith
Pronunciation: \ˈfāth\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural faiths \ˈfāths, sometimes ˈfāthz\
Etymology: Middle English feith, from Anglo-French feid, fei, from Latin fides; akin to Latin fidere to trust — more at bide
Date: 13th century
1 a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1) : to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions 2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust 3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction ; especially : a system of religious beliefs <the Protestant faith>

2.a, 2.b, and 3 are using the word 'faith' in a different sense, as in, "He is a man of the faith," and thus don't apply to this conversation. I realize the word faith is a hot button, but let's try to keep some perspective.
