No, you may not. I have a great amount of faith in things that have been supported by science or other logical systems, as well as in things that I've personally observed to be congruent and consistent over time.
I am, however, completely devoid of the kind of faith that requires me to abandon logic and reason and embrace some or other belief system simply because it's convenient or because I have personal reasons for wanting to believe in it.
