You err again Fredrick, as "faithful devotion", you are ignoring in your assessment. Scientists do not recognize such religious linguistics, to have any validity to science, therefore; your application of the definition is incorrect... Evidently you see yourself as a meta-human being, and I see myself as a scientific human being___No meta___what-so-ever...
The "faith" of lay religious simplicity, crucifies complex scientific understanding... This has been know by philosophers, for centuries.
Kierkegaard stated it as;
"Faith's crucifixation of understanding." I concur...
