I don't believe those faiths mentioned are equal in value and plausability at all, but they ARE faiths. One just happens to be far more elegant and is built on sturdier ground than the other.
The point? That's a whole different can of worms - But I do think that we are doing more than just applying logic. If it was as simple as that, you should be able to program a computer to work it all out for us a la Deep Thought - and that just isn't possible. I'm not denigrating logic, or rationality, but I am pointing out their limits.
If we believe in science and logic without really understanding why, we are just replacing one set of fundamentalist ideas with another.
