I’m not really sure why I need faith to be fairly certain that the sun will rise tomorrow. I don’t need to be certain in any absolute terms, being extremely certain based on past evidence is good enough for me. I’m not plagued by doubt and suggesting that living without faith would leave one in doubt seems dubious to me.

I can work with not being absolutely certain.

Prolly too late for you to see this, but that "[working] with not being absolutely certain" is precisely faith in its truest, most broad form. God in this faith is not the sky wizard of atheistic clap-trap, but a question: if some entity is responsible for all of this bullshit existence, is that person on our side? Faith is the answer 'yes.' Atheism doesn't have an answer via attacking the question, which is fine until we are forced to face it.

which will happen.
