Didn't think this question would be that hard for you all.
To believe and to have faith are two different things!

Yea ok I should have pointed out what definitions for each word. To make it more understandable.
But you can all imagine which ones I meant.

Up to a point. The most basic ideas you choose to have about the world are things you have to assert on faith, because they can't be proved. You believe in God, or you don't believe in God. . . it's true there are certain logical proofs for His existence, but I've never actually known anybody who was convinced to change his mind because of them. There's no proof at all for atheism, and yet people believe that anyway too. Each person looks at the world, and if he's a certain type of person he reaches one conclusion, and if he's a different type of person he reaches the other conclusion, and neither of them has much if anything to do with logic. The reason for that is, you have to assert basic premisses before you have any place to start reasoning from. Logic can't begin with nothing. So you assert something as true, and then you can reason your way from there to various conclusions. But whether to believe in God or not is one of those things so basic and fundamental that it's hard to get behind it and try to reason your way to that point. Possible perhaps, but extremely difficult. That's why so few people even try. It's possible (though difficult) to reason your way to Theism, if you aren't content to accept God on faith. But it's never possible to reason your way to Atheism, because that's a negative assertion, and no one can prove a negative. Atheism really is impossible without faith.

My religion is based on fact ... what I have experienced in my life and know to be true. It works for me and I don't have to explain it to anyone or prove to you or anyone what I know to be true.

You are misconstruing the word 'faith' to mean 'belief in something that can't be proved'. The correct meaning of the word is demonstrated by the following. A man employs a good worker and asks him to undertake a project. The employer has faith in the employee because he knows him to be a good worker and capable of completing the task on time.

True faith in God is just that - a trust that He will 'do what it says on the label.' If you have a problem with that and don't believe that I am telling the truth, then go ask Him yourself.

False...
I used to be a critic... But life had to start somewhere... We know this because stars have a life cycle... According to science, nonlife cannot produce life... meaning there had to be a start with the start of the sun. Therefore, there must be a creator. I also don't think we evolved from a single celled organism because it is illogical for anything to evolve into a less efficient species... It goes against the concept... I think a God is the most logical explination for the existance of life... With that God comes religion.
