is this a discussion on religious people
it depends on your relationship with your religion. ill give two examples.
1
you believe that the bible is the word of god. you have faith in the text as a general book of morals. you might or might not believe the stories are literally true, the important part is that it doesn't matter to you whether they are, but you believe that the messages about the human experience, morality, community, how we should treat each other, are true. there is no room for disproof in your faith in the bible, because your belief in the bible isn't a direct scientific rational belief that these stories literally happened, but rather a belief in the morality that they convey
2
you believe that the bible is the word of god and you think the stories literally happened. you think of the bible the same way you do a history textbook. it's a telling of past events. if some new evidence came up in the future, this would disprove your belief (or, at least, you claim this [it probably wouldn't actually] [you'd probably just cope and rationalize] [you just SAY this so that you can feel good about yourself, because you like to think of your belief as a scientific belief, a belief open to argument]). essentially, you are applying rational scientific tools and historical analysis to purported supernatural events that exist outside of science and rationality (this approach is ontologically faulty, fundamentally an oxymoron, resting a contradictory belief in supernatural events yet also in the ability of science to prove said events)
(in case it was at all unclear, #1 is a category of person i would say has an intellectually honest relationship between themselves and their religion that can survive true self-introspection, #2 is a category of person that i don't respect, see the last sentence of #2 for why [it's intellectually bankrupt]. the difference, in my opinion, between belief and faith, is that faith is not open to being proven wrong, whereas scientific belief is. if you ask a religious person "what could disprove the existence of god", a #1 would probably say "nothing", a #2 might say "some new historical evidence is discovered that whoever wrote the bible was just making shit up" or something like that)
and i guess even further would be a #3 which is someone who doesn't even think about these things, thinks the bible is just as true as any other text humans have written, doesn't self-introspect, doesn't consider why they believe what they believe, and just looks through bible quotes whenever they want to justify their shittiness by hiding it in religion (edited)
