Atheists and Theists are similar...

Yes it would evaporate.
Faith exists as a human perspective.

Organised religion plays on faith for an obvious reason.
There is no fact....[regarding religious validity]

Thus to religion, And the religious.
Faith is synonamous with fact...

This is why so many have trouble defining a fact...
Human social systems do not actually teach that a fact is supposed to be what is accurate to the real world...
Human education systems do not even each the basics of logic, induction and deduction...

Human beings are not taught to think...
They have to learn by themselves...

most dont bother.

I would say that most cant be taught to think, I know that I just refused to swallow most of the bunk my university tried to sell me on. It was illogical, and when I challenged it, all i got was personal attacks, and no answers to my questions.

 

I would agree that a good deal of education is used to teach a base knowledge, and that it should do more to teach how to think and reason and question. I would also say that learning that base knowledge is helpful insofar as it provides a common language for us when we explore an issue.

 

totally agree
