"But it is a contingent faith, isn't it? I, for example, accept that I live in a human "box"- limited by my human senses and reason. And the knowledge of my whole species is so limited. I accept that what I perceive may not be the truth- but I use my reason and experience because they've been very good guides so far."

Okay, so it is a faith you are willing to denounce at a moment's notice, should it fail you. You say reason and experience have been good guides, but have you tried the alternatives?

Pretty much the same deal with Bible thumpers, they feel they have gotten a really good deal out of Christianity, it has been a very good guide for them (or so they perceive).
