Of course it is. You say that like faith is a bad thing. 

The illogic of claiming to have no faith in anything is this: it's impractical to assume the role of quality assurance 
for everything in your life. 

The question is your faith reasonable. Ever use an elevator? Faith. Drive a car? Faith. Drive through a green light? 
Faith. Faith. Faith. 

Show me a man who has no faith, and I'll show you a man who is paralyzed. (Not a sexist statement; woman seem to have 
few problems with Faith).
