    The term “faith” made a lot more sense to me once I thought of believing in the goodness of other people like a faith.

    You have no logic saying it’s there, even get disproved often. But you keep believing in it in spite of the absence of evidence.

      This is why I can’t discredit faith, but I still do my best to point out how organizational religion has always exploited people. Not that all of it is bad. But there needs to be better safeguards for people to have the opportunity to find or reject faith for themselves, and instead it’s mostly indoctrination.
