Here’s my opinion on religion and “blind faith”. First let’s identify some terms:

Faith: (1) confident or trust in a person or thing. (2) belief that is not based on proof.

I think we could all agree that (2) is the definition that we could identify as “blind faith”. For example: The (2)”faith that” God exists is different from (1)”faith in” a friend or lover.

Many believers want to say that we ought to just have blind faith that God exists, and that it is virtuous to avoid/ignore evidence to the contrary of God’s existence. This view is called fideism. I am not a fan of this view.

On the other hand, there are evidentialist believers. St. Thomas Aquinas, for example, believed that you should believe everything by reason (including the existence of God). His concept of faith was literally NOTHING like blind faith. He believe one should have faith (1) in God; that is, we should “trust in” God’s character, not that we should “have faith that” God exists without any evidence or proof.

As we get older and grow in knowledge, after being tugged every which way, we begin to lose our way and either stop caring about our neighbor or we find a deluded philosophy about what it means to care about people. In a sense, during our journey to acquire knowledge in order to fulfill our purpose, we lose our purpose. Ironic.
