The premodern approach is based in faith. The postmodern approach is based on a cynical rejection of all that came before. The modern approach, the one most deeply and accurately informed by an evolutionary world view, is based on skepticism.https://www.patreon.com/posts/22296341

I can’t admit to having access to the full post. :( If we consider faith synonymous to ‘confidence’ then we can conclude faith cannot be an epistemological approach in the first place, let alone in the pre-modern view. Confidence merely describes the certainty of a diff approach.

ah yes you have wider view of it than my default assumption of common meaning of term.. but can easily see how that could apply to ideology, myth, etc. i mean example alternate meaning of "faith" being faith in oneself, etc. even if uninvestigated, that is not received wisdom
-
but now that i think about it, even that form of "faith" could be classified under personal myth, which some would say is inherited thru archetype even if not directly received
-
You may be thinking of Humanism, which can be a type of religion in application. I would argue that if faith is “believing in unproven things,” we all have some kind of faith, but philosophically, modernism is based on empiricism & objectivity; religion is based on texts.
