Uh oh. Goat has been gotten.
Not to ruffle any feathers here but…...........
Faith is belief unsubstantiated by fact.
Faith is hope without reason.
Hope is another word for wish. It may have factual elements or not.
Faith is not logical, nor is it rational. If you have fact, reason and logic there would be no reason to have faith.
Does faith require logic or thinking?
Well, thinking goes with just about everything including belief.
Faith however does not require logic.
I can look at you and see you and say “you are there” as fact.
Caveat: This is fact in my mind though is based on what signals my brain is sending.
If people live without faith, what would be the attributing factor?
My speculation: 1)Logic based on fact. 2) They don’t need it. 3) They see it as detrimental.
I would ask you “Faith in what?” Faith that because you showed up 19 times in a row that you’ll show up the 20th time? This has to do with probability, not faith. Faith that the world will be better in the future because of belief that man if good? This has to do with hope or, perhaps distorted cognitions.
I ask these questions to know whether faith in religion is required
Required for what?
because there are no definitive, authoritative, or rational answers.
To what?
What the Sam Hill is faith in religion? Religion exists. The evidence that religion exists is seen in the existence of churches and references to god. Therefore, it is a fact that religion exists.
There are no right and wrong answers
There can be. There are also are right and wrong questions that lead to right and wrong answers.
