Rationalism, is what seperates us from the automatic machine or instinctual animal. Rationalism is what tells us to not immedeiately bite into that cake. Rationalism is what tells us to save up money. Rationalism is what makes us act in a orderly fashion, rather than chaoticly.

If faith is irrational, then everyone is irrational to some degree.
For example, if you were to say that "God doesn't exist" and were then asked to provide scientific evidence for that statement, could you do it? Similarly, if someone were to tell you that "God does exist," would you expect that person to be able to provide scientific evidence?
The reality is, science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God; whether or not one believes in God is completely a matter of faith. Therefore, there is not a person on this earth who is without faith-based beliefs.
