A belief in God is functionally different from a belief in, say, evolutionary theory. The former actually implements God on the brain of the faithful, as a piece of software with a well-defined spec and write access to the mental universe generator, so miracles may happen.

How's that different from the belief in mathematical axioms?

God is generated from a bunch of axioms that make him functionally the idea that the cell should have about its parent organism. God can have access to your reward function and even your perceptual content.

Our perception can be heavily influenced by the belief in boolean logic. Science good. Faith bad. You see the paradox?

Human being and God partially share their destinies (C.G.Jung). Miracle is in the direct interest of both, I guess. Evolution is ruthless and actually, it is not “close" to human brain.

I don't get why having faith means waiting for a miracle. My faith is that there are no miracles (proof it!) whereas I know some scientists who are waiting for a miracle. Evolution is not really undecidable, like climate change. God is undecidable.

A belief is characterized by its content, the consequences it has on your mind (a belief is a piece of software) and the confidence you have in it. Since there is no evidence for God, the belief should not have confidence, unless you find the results useful.
