Oh I do. Having no reason to believe in an external standard bearer, I have to take on faith that my aesthetic and moral judgements have value and that my attempts to understand the world and others is worthy. Luckily I'm blessed with an abundance of faith, so much so that I'm not at all inclined to insist on any of these things in a rigid matter of belief.
