Some people accept religious happenings as "fact" due to their "faith".

The fanatics say 'I believe'.
Why? because there is no hard evidence to support their religious happening. They can make it up as they go along, sure.
You can take ANY religion. The forefathers wanted their religion to prosper among the innocent and non-religious groups. So, they made up stories to make you believe. They also wanted propagate 'absolute faith' without question.
Therefore, spirituality is better than religion. Being fanatical about one's own God is a path to ruin. History has proved it. Because the believers say my God is better than yours. That begets hatred and fanaticism. They kill each other. War breaks out.
You can go back 2000 years. The basic premise on wars is religion because someone got some other one upset.
As you have answered your own question, it is a perceived religious happening. There is no scientific or discernable proof to these happenings can be shown. No measurable, quantifiable evidence exists. No basis. People should just grow up.

I perceive religious happenings as "Facts" where I assume you mean those things recorded in the Bible.
I believe in the above statement in the same way that you believe any other ancient history.

There are at least 45,000 Protestant churches in the U.S.
What caused all these different beliefs if the MESSAGE is so clear?
What makes you believe that you have more than a 1 in 45,000 chance of being in the 'correct' church?
Virgin Birth - A preconceived notion?
What is the Imacculate Conception?
An Imacculate deception?
Betcha don't know.
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
Jesus? Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!

Some see them as Facts. But really they only believe, since no one has yet to really prove these happenings or occurences. The only thing they have to show for it, is a book.

Faith is belief. To believe, one must base it on facts. Read the Bible it is the facts. You can build faith by acknowledging the truth, and then you will believe. You are very lost in the wilderness. God can get you through this, but you must be willing to follow his directions. He will navigate you life. You can believe that, it is a fact!!!!

Oh, I'm sure there are people out there who truly believe.
People need to understand the world around them, who they are and their place in the world. It makes it easier to accept and believe in things that appear to provide that explanation.
