Now you're making assumptions about my beliefs!
This is the Theology Forum and thus there is leeway (believe it or not) to describe your beliefs here because many of us are trying to understand the source of faith.
One of the foundations of many religions is the notion of "tests of faith" and if your reason for believing in God is solely "always have, don't understand why you wouldn't" that would put you in an extremely small minority of believers! In fact it would raise the suspicions of most believers that you've never really proven that you believe!
Have you never experienced anything in your life that would cause you to work through your belief in God more completely to reaffirm your faith in your own mind?
Faith, I saw it not; but I felt it hot in her breath,
