No, their existence is not in dispute. There are theories to explain their nature and mechanics. Faith is not part of the discussion about gravity or oxygen. They are certainties.

To me there is no dispute the Creator exists. And I do not 'feel' more special than the rest of His creation because I have no cause to dispute His existence. I believe each have a God given right to believe whatever they decide to believe. And IF and When the Creator needs some assistance from any of us, He knows first hand out to get our attention. Why, because He knows the other 90% of the brain/intellect that the overwhelming majority of we children never gain the keys to access. Well at least in a flesh body.

Love is not an emotion that can be coerced, forced, bought or sold. One either has the ability or they do not. I would liken 'faith' in things not seen as the ability to love a child, parent, spouse, country, and last but not least the Creator.

I purposefully left out love of self, specifically because of the methodology of liberalism to pervert what it literally means to love oneself. Love of oneself is on prominent display in the narcissistic spoiled brat mentality of self aggrandizement at all class/intellect levels.

The folly of the unbelievers is ignoring the consequences of allowing a flesh body majority replacing God with themselves in deciding what are and are not rights they can give or take. A free peoples do not accept taxation/mandates without representation. God only asked for 10% of the profits, and we have hired the mentality of flesh minds to enslave US into bondage.

Empirical certainties and your religious beliefs are two completely different things. That’s why I was making the case that using “faith” to describe both is faulty.
