People also have the right to believe as they wish, String. It is only when they try to foist that belief on others who are, for one reason or another, unqualified to make an informed choice that they become a problem.
And you know it isn't limited to religious faith. How many people around the world believe wholeheartedly in little green men from Mars, or wherever?
Mark Twain got that one absolutely wrong. Faith is believing in anything for which it is not possible to produce PROOF, or DISPROOF.
It is implicit in the definition of faith that you CANNOT KNOW it ain't so.
