Well put. As a Christian I appreciate your comments about the word “faith,” especially. In the last century it has taken on the “leap of faith” connotation, which is not conveyed by its root in the Latin, “fide,” which implies an objective belief or trust. I could never be a Christian based upon an absence of objective data, although in the 35 years of my life as a Christian I could never have imagined the sheer quantity of evidence available that I now have access to. Admittedly the state of Christianity in the West is not the objective faith of my Protestant forefathers 300-500 years ago.
