We can not know anything 100% so in a sense all beliefs are based on faith;
faith that our logic and points are correct. Most people however use the
word "faith" as an excuse to believe in something even though there are
virutually no facts to support it. To me that is absurb.

From what I know right now, I have faith that I live in Los Angeles, but I
don't know that 100% . . . if all I relied on was faith without facts, I
could decide to believe I live on the moon. But by doing that I would
believe in something that is very likely not true.

Logic is a set a rules and isn't effected by anything. People may be
effected by things which pull them away from the rules of logic, but that
does not mean the rules themselves have changed.
