Alternatively, faith occurs when a person places [trust] in a thing or person due to [belief]. To put it somewhat more long-windedly, faith occurs when a person vests trust in person or thing where:

- evidence exists which throws doubt upon or compels the rejection of trustworthiness.
- insufficient evidence exists to compel or suggest trustworthiness.
