I think what you are referring to here is called, "blind faith." Yea, even Jesus referred to the "blind leaders of the blind." ~ Matthew 15:14

I have faith in my close friends, sometimes, in the face of evidence that they may fail or don't have the qualities I believe they have. But I have no faith in most authority figures.
I have "faith" that the sun will shine tomorrow. Whereas if we refer to a God which is invisible, and yet He does exist (in spirit), then it may require a different kind of faith, other than one which is "blind."
