Then I'm not criticising what you call faith. I am criticising commitment to a position without evidence. When faith is used synonymously with confidence or trust in something, it is a completely different thing. There are good and bad reasons to have trust in things.https://twitter.com/gm_palmer/status/979334798249402368 …
They do but this is a different impulse to finding faith virtuous. We experience shame & embarrassment when we realise we are factually wrong. The pleasure and feeling of virtue for having faith & disloyalty feeling for abandoning it is different.

Is that psychologically / neurologically so?

I don't know what is happening neurologically but psychologically, yes. One is akin to the virtues of loyalty & constancy. The other is akin to the shame of losing status.

That's fascinating. I'd love to read some papers on that if you know of any. Status is something we should probably all study more closely.

'Being Wrong' by Schultz The Spiritual Brain - Great Courses series are good.
