People believe there is a God and have faith in that God, that's Ok.
People can believe there is no God and have no faith, that's Ok.
People can't say there is or there isn't a God for certainty. I remember a Catholic Priest say once on television " I don't know if there's a God, but I have faith and hope that their is one according to the Word of God ". We live in a reality and that's the reality, no point fooling around. The underlying fact under all the rubble of religion, is that nothing is a certainty, can't be proved, only hoped, it's that hope that makes people believe and have faith in a God, but not many that I know say " There is a God ", they say " I believe there is a God ", two completely different sentences of which the later one makes justifiable and realistic sense.
