That certainly makes more sense than the way you define it.
Anybody who has faith in what Aron Ra has to say hasn't been paying attention.

It looks as though some people dislike religion so much that they will put their faith in absolutely anyone who says bad things about it. This faith is frequently misplaced.
Fine example of the Genetic Fallacy on your part. Instead of making ad hominem remarks about Aron Ra's character, how about telling us what you think is wrong with his definition of faith.
