There is also no such thing as knowing god. He can no more be known than one can know a unicorn.

Faith is walking out on what you know.
There is a major distinction between secular faith and religious faith. I honestly tire of having to explain the difference, but to retain my intellectual integrity I must.
Secular faith is a belief that is confidence or trust in something that is based on proof. I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. That kind of faith is based on facts because the sun rises around the same time everyday, and we have witnessed this to be true.
Religious faith is a belief in something that is not based on proof. I have faith that god exists. There is no evidence to support the existence of god.
