A Christian caller's agreement with the 'faith = belief without evidence' definition hands skeptics a rhetorical victory

Please Stop Saying Faith Is Belief Without Evidence 00:05:08 – 00:06:08

Mike analyzes the Atheist Experience clip where the atheist host anticipates the Christian caller's definition and immediately labels it 'gullibility.'

Mike argues that when a Christian defines faith as belief without evidence, they are not merely making a statement about the nature of faith — they are making a statement about the evidence for Christianity: that there is none. The atheist caller correctly exploits this by calling it gullibility. Mike says 'you've already lost the battle' at that point.
