No it's not blind dismissal to look for evidence and then when none is found to then dismiss something.
Blind faith via ignorance, as I mentioned in another thread yesterday, is what I hate about religious folk. As long as a theist understands their religion and has at least read their book of the their faith, I have no issue with them personally, I still have issue with their faith, as I don't believe religion has the answers and is at it's core immoral and controlling...but I at least have respect for someone who knows what it is they believe in even if I disagree. I am however bothered by religious people who have no idea what their religion is, and things like that recent survey which says Atheists and Agnostics knows more about religion really bother me.
