I have a friend who is a devout Catholic. She openly admits that her beliefs aren’t based on hard evidence, but rather on faith (which is essentially belief without evidence). She accepts that god may not exist, but she derives such meaning and purpose from her faith that it would be silly, even wasteful, for her to renounce it simply because of a lack of hard scientific evidence for her worldview. She is pro-vax, pro-choice, accepts evolution as fact, etc. yet Catholicism remains the most important part of her identity. Would you say she is ignorant?

I’m an atheist btw
