I was raised Christian. It's collective events and circumstances that support a Christians faith. Some become overzealous and expect everyone to see the things around them that suggest a supreme god. Those who call you insane do no good for the religion and they are misguided. It's a personal choice to believe in god or not. In any situation "Faith" is something that we know in our hearts and CANNOT be proven. If it was Proven then it would no longer be Faith but rather it would become Fact.
If you are asking for the events and circumstances that these people place their faith in here are a few. Revelation can be interpreted in such a way that some recent past history matches up with it. The order and balance in the natural world can be interpreted as being a result of divine planning. Historians from ancient times tend to collaborate the Bible record at least in certain world events. The locations for the people and places and even destruction of some places mentioned in the Bible have been followed by some archeologists and found to be accurate. Certain personal events in their lives will often collaborate their faith - such as a person missing their apt and then finding out that there was s serious accident in the intersection they would have passed through had they been on time. They credit the circumstance to divine intervention preventing them from being involved.
I hope this was what you were looking for.
