I have solid faith based on rational skepticism and the axiom that 'God exists'
Atheists have the same; solid faith based on rational skepticism and the axiom that "God exists"
I'm fine when the Economist publishes a study about religious belief leading to less altruistic behaviour, because I've already incorporated that into my worldview
But I'm constantly impressed by those who have more faith than me - they do good and make good decisions! I know my rationalism is not the whole story, much as Richard Dawkins and I both wish it were
But those with too much faith would be crushed by the Economist article :(
Luckily Paul told us: test everything.
In conclusion: faith and rationality reconcile if you realize we're all just basing it on an axiom: God does [not] exist.
And of course I know that believing in him has led me to know incredible things I would have never otherwise known. If you don't believe - take the leap.
