Those things have solid evidence, and that means that those are reasonable beliefs.
Whether faith be justified or not changes not the nature of belief.
Maybe your reasons are right... maybe your reasons are wrong... maybe your reasons are French: it changes nothing.

I've had an awful lot of cars not start when I turn the key... if that was your intention with that, then bully for you, clever wordsmith.
Most people believe the ground they walk upon is quite solid... I will not begrudge them their right to think that... but often enough it is sinking sand, and they are set to drown in it.

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
