IMO all neurotypical people do have "Faith" in some form, because religion is an important part of human firmware, and necessarily follows from the workings of our brain in any environment where cultures emerge. (As proven by every relevant anthropological study since Durkheim.)
The capitalization also make a difference.
"faith" vs. "Faith" are roughly "belief of unproven things" vs. "system of religious belief"
It might be in a dictionary somewhere, but there's no widespread consensus on how to use capitalization here.
What do you mean by "Faith", and what do you mean by "neurotypical"? (I understand the latter is used mostly to mean "not autistic", sometimes to mean "normal" on some other cognitive metric or set of metrics.)
Hmm. I wonder how many such studies looked at environments where the majority had a reasonable scientific education and there was no pre-existing religion?
(This just might be a trick question.)
Have there been any such environments?
