I appreciate your comment. I will take it into consideration. I didn't really notice the typos or grammatical errors. For the rambly style it's kind of deliberate. I want it to feel kind of conversational. I know a lot of people don't like it but it's what I enjoy reading so it's what I enjoy writing.
For the rest I will think about it

A hard definition. Faith could also imply trust in a promise, in which case is life not pervaded by it, and not in an evil way?

What a mind-blowing question. "Is it better to have faith in something or to be convinced of it?" Please, you write an essay.

Just some guy who livestream political and philosophical discussions and debates online. I think last week they had someone on who talk about the same things you started with on your article. (Faith or religious existence from us) I think tho they can to a different conclusion that as humans expand their knowledge and evolve that we will replace or become god. So finishing the article answers my question thanks tho good read.

Appreciate it. If you notice though it's an old article from last year. Been sitting on it. I write a lot on medium

I applaud your bravery to criticism. Perhaps to be more conversational, I would recommend more questions.

With all due respect this article is quite poorly written. There's a number of grammatical errors and typos which make it difficult to follow, and it's very "rambly" in its discourse.
I'd invite you to consider something very simple - is it better to have faith in something or to be convinced of it? The former could be considered a subset of the latter. Faith is blindly believing in something without necessarily being thoroughly convinced by it. In my opinion, this is a weaker position than rigorous scientific evidence or even intuition. Faith is not the same as intuition - it relies on surrendering to another perspective completely without any reservations, and has led to a great deal of evil for humanity at large (the Catholic Church has been a source of some of this evil).
