Faith in what? Faith in the existence of the United States Government? No need for faith, we can demonstrate it exists. Faith that they're going to do a good job? That's about the worst thing you could ever believe in, given it's recent track record.

there are so many ways to describe faith it isn't even funny.
personally i see it as loyalty and trust. believing without seeing (as in being a christian or believing some other religion) is also defined as faith but could also be known as just believing. faith in the government would mean that you trust they will do a good job and you are loyal to them.

If that were true, religion would have demonstrated that God exists "on paper" long ago.

i think he does, but it depends on how you look at it. obviously if you just wrote your name on paper and sent it to me i wouldn't believe that you are the same person on the forum. but if God MADE the world and he MADE math then it is very easy to see him on paper.

That's not proof, that's a claim. Some people simply choose to believe it. The same is true of people who write books about UFOs, those are just claims, but you have a lot of people who accept them.

but the bible has alot of evidence behind it, whereas these UFO books have very little evidence. people choose to believe the bible because it is accurate and is backed up by hundreds of other historical documents.
