This definition of faith makes no sense to me and I'm a Christian. Isaac Newton both was a man full of faith (Christian) and obviously had the capacity for clear and realistic thought, as evidenced by the opinions of most famous physicists and mathematicians throughout history and his accomplishments, too numerous to even mention at the moment. Some obscure atheist calling him and other Christians ill because of their faith is really too much to warrant a response from a sensible person, so I'll leave it at that. You've managed with this quote to demonstrate to the entire world how much out of contact with reality certain atheists are, although I don't think this was your purpose; that's quite an accomplishment.
To the moderators: Personal attacks are unacceptable in openSUSE mailing lists, according to the netiquette, https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette#Don.27t_be_aggressi.... Calling Christians, among others, ill, because they're Christians is actually stupid in the best case, and if this were the first time such an incident occurs, I wouldn't bother reporting it, but some in openSUSE mailing lists seem to think it is acceptable to insult and slander others for no reason at all.
Especially considering that the Scientific Method, which is so revered by the Christian-haters, was DEVELOPED BY CHRISTIANS.
