I can equally have a faith in something else, without ever knowing of its existence. Doesn't make it correct outside of my head.
No one is arguing that theists believe in god. They clearly do. They have faith.
The problem arises with the realization that faith isn't uniform, why else would there be so many versions and interpretations of the supernatural? Genuine question. There's no proposition in faith (nor is it able to make such Stuff) which can be argued against/for.
In physics, e.g., there are many hypotheses about the nature of the internal workings beyond the event horizon of a black hole. Some are conjecture, others parsimonious, others still explore on the basis of theory into making some hypothesis about black holes. But like any other experimentalist, astrophysicist, astronomist and theoretical physicist, they do not claim faith in their work. There are several stories of scientists in their respective fields who were proven wrong and conceded their points. Not because of humility or some other notion of defeat or whatever for human considerations, but because of falsifiability. it could be proven wrong.
Faith has none of that. It's conceit, a mask made out of emotion for pretend epistemology.
