OK, I've pointed out the difference twice, so I'll ask instead. How would YOU phrase a position that requires no faith? Or do you deny that people without religious faith exist?

I believe that every person has a religious faith of some kind. That can even be a faith that there is no god at all.

So would I say an Atheist has faith? Yes I would.

Do I have faith the sun will rise tomorrow? Yes I do.

The only position that requires no faith is a fact.

I believe science can show us observable, repeated experiments, and the result of them, over and over, same result, repeated every time, is a fact.

The Theory is not fact but it is presented that way. That's what I have the problem with.
