Faith is absurd:

belief in something that has no evidence or has actually been proven to be incorrect and yet believing it all the more strongly because 'you just know'
(or more correctly you have been conditioned through whatever reasons; social pressure/in-group altruism/parents etc, to ignore mountains of factual evidence without any personal understanding.

so you would rather live in a vacuum of happy ignorance?

faith is just a huge nonchalant shrug of the shoulders, just a giving up and pinning any yet unsolved mystery to a Deity..
