faith, but not necessarily belief. Faith is listed as irrational epistemology. Belief can be rational if one can support it with reason.
I don't necessarily agree with this premise though. Faith is very generalized by it. Some people say they have faith because they've been told the same story their entire life, in affect, brainwashed. They don't really know why they believe what they do. Others have developed faith through relationships, and experiences. These are two different versions and should not be lumped together.
