The human makeup is such that we cannot do without faith. Without faith we give up and there is no reason to pursue anything. I have faith that I can give me daughter a decent education. I have faith that if I keep working I can pay off my debts. People have faith that humans will learn from their mistakes. Citizens have faith in the law of the land to protect them. Now if you are talking about faith in a supreme being - there is no reason in the world that you have that is suffient to convince me that I'm better of believe that this world is completely caotic and a result of chance. You cannot convince me that there will be no ultimate punishment whether it be carma, reincarnation, or hell for the deeds of those who so disrespect other humans as to torture or kill them without regret. Faith in a supreme being or God is necessary to most humans and will always be. It's the fountations of most cultures and cultural traditions. It's not going away its just too ingrained.
We have to have faith in something be it relgion, science, or ourselves. I prefer not to have ultimate faith in myself because I know I make mistakes.
