That is up to you OP was written in the way it was meantI'd change 'unseen' to 'unproven'.
Actually, I'd say unseen is a fine way of putting it as well, at least from a religious perspective.I'd change 'unseen' to 'unproven'.
I'd agree, and also include acting on that faith, as that is what proves that we actually have faith.Having spiritual/religious faith is to believe in the unseen and faith in the teaching that what is told as wisdom is the truth, even before one see it.

I think there is a very important difference between faith and belief. Faith being a choice to trust in the truthfulness of an ideal. Belief being a blind (unfounded) pretense that the ideal is true. To me, faith and pretense are two very different path choices, leading to two very different results.Having spiritual/religious faith is to believe in the unseen and faith in the teaching that what is told as wisdom is the truth, even before one see it.

If you looking for scientific answer to see spiritual faith i think you will be disapointedOne might question whether the unseen "truth" has objective
verification by others, eg, claims about General Relativity,
or if the "truth" is subjective & widely disagreed about, eg,
claims about the gods. Twould be useful to grok that.

That's what I mean. In a religious context, "faith" has many meanings. For instance:In the OP it is about spiritual or religious faith what is the other faith you thinking of?

For a religious person the scripture is the proof of what we experience every day in our daily life. But i can understand for someone who do not believe or have faith in God it look like it's fault.That's what I mean. In a religious context, "faith" has many meanings. For instance:
- loyalty ("faithfulness") to God
- obedience to God
- trust that God will fulfill his promises
- belief that a religion's claims (about things now) are true without corroborating evidence
- belief that a religion's claims are true despite contradictory evidence
I've seen many cases where modern-day religious people take scriptures where the author is talking about "faith" in the context of loyalty to God or trust in God's promises for the future and reinterpret it as justification for beliefs without evidence.

I just observe, ponder, & form opinions.
It's an easy path.
There is no stopping me.Stop doing philosophy unless....
Read again....No, you don't because you claim objective verification.

Yeah, a believer that only cares about other believers as "wrong" and don't understand that he is also a believer.There is no stopping me.
I'd never say that my Finnish friend is wrong.Yeah, a believer that only cares about other believers as "wrong" and don't understand that he is also a believer.
