\nThis question is important and becoming all the more so since there is a growing portion of our population that blindly believes Bronze Age myths due to the notion of “faith.” I could wax rhapsodic on this subject for hours. Rather than do that, I’d like to share an entry from Greta Christina’s blog which is a very articulate and accurate description of religious faith contrasted with secular faith<\/a>.
\n
\nThe net of this is, secular faith is a rational trust developed over time with evidence. It is not absolute and can be reshaped, or even lost, as the situation changes. Religious faith is a different animal, it’s about being absolutely convinced of the presence of a deity and giving up one’s life, thoughts, and soul to that entity in exchange for ever-lasting life in paradise.
\n
\nGo read Greta’s blog<\/a>, it’s much more articulate and rich in context than this abridged version.
