If you are persuaded to trust the veracity of something then you have a belief, but who or what persuaded you? If your persuasion, your faith, is from human argument and reasoning, will you be persuaded later that those arguments were wrong and then have to change your practices based on those persuasions? If your persuasion comes from miracles you have witnessed or which those you trust have witnessed, and from works the Holy Spirit has done in you or those around you, perhaps in church or meditation, then the persuasion is from God and is religious faith. This is more rock steady than faith based on scientific arguments.
