Religious faith depends on a host of social, psychological and emotional factors that have little or nothing to do with probabilities, evidence and logic.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.
Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.
My simple point is that I judge a person's faith by how they live their life, not by the tenets of their religion. I've watched the holiest of people walk past somebody in need or treat their staff mean. To me, the beauty of faith is only seen when people live it consistently or struggle to do so.
Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.
Faith helps many people make sense of the world around them. Faith gives them a spiritual connection to something larger.
Faith is an act of rational choice, which determines us to act as if certain things were true, and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.
Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.
Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.
Religious faith, like political belief, should be based on reasoning, on the development of thought and feelings. The two things are inseparable.
