@tomcapuder yep that's what the agnostics are waiting for as well, empirical proof.
Faith is the antithesis of this, but it shouldn't just be a blind acceptance of all the dogma religions come up with. The trick is in discerning the good opinions (and they really are just opinions) from the lousy ones.
Faith is the excuse people give when they don't have a good reason to believe.
What is the main reason for your belief in a god's existence?

@tomcapuder apologies, I did not mean to trivialize your question.
I think faith is not a thing on its own. I think it only exists if there is someone who is faithful. So faith is not my reason for believing. It's the state I am in (faithfulness) because I believe.
But yes, the kindness all around us, the beauty of creation, all that soppy stuff, is a big part of why I believe.
