Faith is taught
We know from the article Chapter II, John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding as presented in the thread, Morality does not come from God, that there is no innate thought in the mind of a newborn. We also know from that thread, among other characteristics of individuals, that morality is not fully rational until a third stage in the development of individuals.
What faith shares with morality is a predilection to be derived from authority and association until a rational process takes over in deducing and accepting the principles behind the authority figure and associative authority. John Rawls, regarding morality, address these developmental levels in sections 69 - 71 on page 397 of the ISBN edition 0-674-00078-1, A Theory of Justice .
Verification of morality is experience, non-harmful experience. Faiths truth is derived from revelation or acceptance of a religious given.
Can anyone give an example of an article of faith that is derived from reason without the premise or supporting evidence of that article being taught?
