Overview
Religious faith is a steadfast belief in religious entities, despite the lack of any evidence and often in the face of severe internal contradictions.
Although it is overwhelmingly the usage intended when the word "faith" is used by itself, it is not the only meaning of that word (see faith).
Many people see religious faith as a force for good in society, but these same people tend to ignore or excuse any evidence to the contrary -- demonstrating a sort of "faith in religious faith" themselves.
