“In Buddhist exceptionalism, we see statements like, ‘Buddhism isn’t a faith-based religion.’ . . . [But] trust or confidence in the Buddha is a matter of faith.” ––@evantthompsonhttps://tricy.cl/2GwY8dW

Sure, but lots of religions mark that distinction. Nothing special about Buddhism there

And there are many forms of Buddha-dharma. Pure Land can be deeply "faith-centric." But overall modernist use of "faith-based" in reference to fundamentalist Protestant *belief in doctrines* is I think reasonably distinguished from Buddhist saddhā as *trust in practice teachers.*

They are both the same and faith can be defined as 'from beyond limit of senses'. Buddha's teaching(like all religious origin) came from a similar supersensuous state of mind( and not intellectual cogitations).

There are of course many approaches, levels, and facets. One approach actually includes questioning all "definitions" (via negativa; advaita's "neti neti"; some understanding of Buddhist "emptiness"). I also feel we need to attend to the ways "religion" is largely a Western word.
