I am not trying to be derogatory or offensive in any way, I just don’t agree a lot of times when I hear theist’s say that they are making rational or logical arguments. I am not saying that their "arguments” are not valid, but that they seem to be based on faith. Also, do you thing that the majical or superstitious beliefs of other religions are logical and rational? I am only trying to understand our differences. I apologize for my lack of diplomatic eloquince. Please do not get offended.
I am only looking for sincere responses

People who believe in a religion aren't rational when it comes to the dogmas of their religion, but that doesn't mean they are not capable of rational and logical thinking in every other aspect. I mean someone who irrationally believes in dogmas of his religion can still be a great mathematician, or have a rational opinion on politics and everything else that doesn't violate the basics of his religion.

Non-theists all have the same definition of rational and logical.
Theists use the terms very hypocritically.
