I've long claimed to not have faith in anything. I'm certainly don't have "faith" in inductive inference. I don't see why anyone would have "faith" in something which they are uncertain about. The need for lack of certainty about induction has long been understood.

Which of these seven models of faith do you have in mind when you use that word (if any)?

Bah, philosophy. I essentially mean belief not justified by the evidence.
