7596	Faith is not just belief in propositions, but also putting trust in them [Armstrong,K]
	Full Idea: There is a distinction between belief in a set of propositions and a faith which enables us to put our trust in them.
	From: Karen Armstrong (A History of God [1993], Intro)
	A reaction: This is interestingly distinct from the usual idea that faith is putting belief in propositions which are not sufficiently rationally justified. How many philosophers actually have faith in the propositions they say they believe?
