Page 30: Boghossian's principal argument against faith is circular — it presupposes his false definition

From page 30: "If a belief is based on insufficient evidence then any further conclusions drawn from the belief will at best be of questionable value. Believing on the basis of insufficient evidence cannot point one toward truth." Mike points out this is circular: Boghossian has first defined faith as belief without evidence, then argued against it on that basis. His chapters 2-3 are an extended assault on faith, stringing together examples of religious harm without acknowledgment of the massive positive contributions of faith.
