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.)
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?
