Would you kindly explain how and why that statement is truth?
Faith is a belief held without the support of evidence. Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc, etc, have faith in their own version of God or gods and theology, their own 'truth,' but logically they can't all have the truth, what they believe contradicts each other. What is being believed on faith is not necessary true and factual.
Your response is understandable and accurate to some degree - however, you have provided nothing that proves, or even demonstrates, truth in your original statement. It is neither simple, nor easy.



It is basic logic.

If something is believed without the support of evidence, it is called faith. In common usage, faith is used as a blanket term in reference to good will/in good faith, confidence, trust, etc....but this does not negate faith in the context of a conviction without the support of evidence, be it religious belief, ideology, politics, etc.

If you hold a belief without the support of evidence, your belief is held on the basis of faith. Simple as that.
