I think that it is important in our context that the belief in any
reality (different from my consciousness here-and-now) requires
unverifiable faith.
The implication that any belief that is not verified in held on faith is
a rhetorical trick. There are degrees of belief which should be
proportioned to the evidence. That the evidence doesn't rise to the
level of verification (certainty?) doesn't make my belief the sun will
rise tomorrow a matter of faith.
