as long as you believe in something more than yourself and follow your conscience then you probably have a faith of some kind #bbctbq
Then you have evidence of the good consequences, not of the truth. If you believe it to have good consequences but not to be true, no faith.

something with good consequences may be an indication of the of truth, as may something with bad consequences, either way truth is tested
-
What does that mean? It can indicate the truth about consequences but what else?
-
everything involves faith of some kind as nothing can be exclusively proven and all interaction involves a form of deontological exploration
-
It doesn't really. You can just accept that we can't know anything for sure & then work on evidence.
-
humanists don't have some exclusive access to reason, rationality and knowledge - these can be accessed by people of religious faith too.
-
Of course they can.

I am not sure what your point is - even scientific theorists like Popper work on the uncertainty of knowledge as the basis of science.
-
I'm saying that the best epistemology available to us takes evidence as its basis.
