Why Mike gave only two poll options and why "trust" is the appropriate generic definition of faith

Why We Can't Agree on What Faith Is and What We Can Learn From It. 00:02:37 – 00:04:10

Explaining poll methodology

Mike chose "trust" as the blanket definition of faith because it should fit every usage of the word across religious and non-religious contexts. He deliberately excluded "trust with evidence" as an option because he wanted a general definition, not a specifically Christian one. He notes that someone also suggested "allegiance" as a good definition.
