My go-to is the biblical definition, which says pretty much the same thing. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. Things hoped for have no substance. So you plant your feet on faith instead of substance, and insist the things you hope for are true. Your evidence for unobservable things is faith. You cannot prove they exist, so faith is your foundation and your confirmation that you’re right.
I mean, a cynical way to put it, but not wrong. Having faith in your friends and in humanity does work this way, though I think the alternative is quite bleak. Having faith in the right things can go a long way, in my view.
Faith is a big word with many different meanings. Faith in people means trust, but it’s not the same as a faith in god. Putting your faith in a person is making yourself vulnerable to be hurt by them. Putting your faith in god is to abdicate your personal responsibility in favor of an ideology attributed by religious leaders to imaginary friends.
Though with my friends I have some evidence how they brought food and conversation topics to the last 10 parties, so I’m fairly sure they’re going to do it at the next gathering. Similar with humanity. Once I leave the house I can see what they do and how they interact. And on average the experience is always the same. I rarely get disappointed when relying or putting trust in strangers or my neighbours and that’s kind of rooted in past experience.
That intro song was so cringe, arghh

You people who turn atheism into a religion are insufferable 🤣
