or what motives and or actions that being has. That being said they use the bible as a explanation of how their god is good etc. Then there is the key problem with that there is more bad
done than good by that being to call him good. Then the other part being created in a god(s) image when there is no clear explanation of what a god(s) looks like.
Yep, phooey on religious beliefs.

Disagree. Like everyone else, you have faith in many things, including (hopefully) at least your self. Hopefully you have a reasonable faith in some other people too. Most of us have justified faith in at least one skill or talent we feel good about.
Beyond the mundane there is also faith that life has meaning and that we can find it. I for one like to think life is not just a conveyor belt carrying me from birth to death. I want to understand it as much as possible. Find and appreciate the good things. I have faith that is possible.
