This is a Q&A blog post by Talbot School of Theology’s Visiting Scholar in Philosophy, William Lane Craig. Question Dear Dr Craig, In many conversations with atheists and agnostics, they insist that "faith" means "belief without evidence". Virtually every atheist I've known defines faith in that way. It is like an axiom in the atheistic and infidel communities and it is one of the main reasons why they reject religious beliefs.
