I think the difference is that I’m honest about my belief through faith. Most scientists claim their belief is something other than, well just that, a belief system. A system based on faith. Faith (or hope) that the fundies of the world are wrong. :)
I don't feel faith (although I will often act as if I do.)
Compare to "blind sight" where someone can navigate a crowded room without collisions, yet not be able to consciously see anything in it.
