The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

If the belief that 'Faith' will lead them to virtue happens to be false, that would invalidate the idea so you still have a problem in not basing your belief on evidence.
"If our beliefs are informing our choices then we need them to be as accurate as possible, and justification ensures this accuracy. So as long as a belief can inform our decisions we need it to be as accurate as possible."
So adopting a position of 'Faith', without evidence, is defensible as long as your 'faith' will not effect any decisions or choices?? Interesting....

The path to Truth lies via careful study of reality, not the dreams of our fallible minds - me
From the sublime to the ridiculous: Science -> Philosophy -> Theology
