Faith is something the faithful are proud of.
Personally, faith scares me. It is dangerous. It inspires conflict and violence.

Proud of. Mark Twain isn't God, and the very name itself is false.
Faith is believing in something, despite the lack of proof. If there were proof of God's existence, there would be no need for faith, now would there? Everyone would believe. Except atheists.

Your faith is a joke
Big Bang fly in the face of science and the laws and principals of thermodynamics. As a free thinking individual devoid of indoctrination from public school, and the alphabet news, one must ask were did all this come from.This is hard medicine and you must think for yourself.
In the First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In the beginning to the Big Bang, there is nothing (zero-matter) present to explode, and zero energy to explode it. There are zero observations, or documented test results for spontaneous generation, let alone matter from nothing.
Expecting to have matter, and energy just show up, when none is present is like taking an absolutely empty box, and after billions of years, or any other amount of time, expect to open that box, and inside have a operational world in all its complexity. Spontaneous generation something out of nothing, used to support the Big Bang is in direct conflict with the first scientific Law of Thermodynamics.
This is hard medicine and you must think for yourself.

I would say embarrassed by it. If you think logically about the Bible and read about its history and the history of religion, you would understand that religion had its place many years ago as a method of group control and a way to explain the unexplainable. Nowadays, with modern science and government, only brainless sheeple believe in it.

Neither-
Since true faith is an unmerited gift from God one should be
exceedingly grateful to Him for it.

I would say embarrassed by. Seriously. My nephew doesn't even believe in a god, and he would get mad if anyone tried to tell him about it.
