Faith is the refuge when you don't really know the answer.

IMO we're organically evolving processes comprised of:
Sensations and feelings.
Situationally induced recollections drawing upon
conditional remembrance of ongoing experience,
Cognition, anticipation, attention, expression.

Effective functioning depends upon efficient preservation of:
Accurate conclusions drawn from verifiable observations.
Constructive beliefs appropriately orientating attention.
Beneficial values optimizing expression.

Faith diminishes effectiveness by recognizing unverifiable causality.
It is indeed a weak substitute for knowledge or understanding.
