Scientology. You don't need faith, only brainwashing.

Christianity can be believed. Very few people, Christian or otherwise, have faith that is not blind. But those few are Christian. Have you ever taken a trip in a car with someone who has traveled the route before you? That person has a clear image of the route in his mind. You do not. You read signs, he watches the road ahead. He sees, you are blind.
The people that sat down with pen and ink, to write the Bible, had Faith that was not blind. Mother Theresa saw clearly, what she had to do.
If you don't have a clear understanding of God, or religion, listen to your parents (no matter how old you are). Find someone you trust, and ask them about religion.

No
If you have the need to pose questions like that the answer will be no.... for you.
Many don't find they 'blindly believe' but you will regardless of what they think is proof.
Even science has blind belief. You can not have a theory without assuming some things.. even Einstein starts his theory with assumtions. Is that the same as blind faith? To a scientist it isn't....but then, feeling God in your heart isn't 'blind faith' to somebody that feels that.

Good luck its sounds like you are searching for an answer in your life. All I can say is that faith is an integral part of any religion. However, the more I learn the more I believe in God. Hope you find an answer and best of luck.

All religions imply blindness. You have to believe something you don't see, therefore all religions are blind and you have to have faith. Religion = blind faith

Another person mentioning "blind faith".
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.
bind faith = faith
Why waste a keystroke to add blind?

The older form of Christianity as started by Jesus of nazareth is now referred to as "Gnostic" christians. ( they never used the term. it was given to them by their enemies) it was and is based upon knowledge and not faith so YES, you can have a true religion not based upon "faith" but you do not BELIEVE it, you KNOW it. It comes from personal empirical knowledge of experience with the infinite. Jesus hinted at the possibility to guide you and give clues, but it is impossible to show anyone, they have to FIND IT!
Faith is for fools. Eat from the tree of knowledge my son and you shall be wise. ignore the orders to not so do. it is too keep you stupid. The true GOD does not want you to be stupid. he gave you a brain to use, not to confuse.
One can only encourage the search and assure you it exists but nobody can teach you or tell you.

Nope. Only the religion alternative of atheism.

Buddhism doesn't require faith - you are presented with the ideas and you decide for yourself if it works for you. Buddha himself said don't follow the man, follow the teaching.

All theories have a degree of faith in them.
