Faith and belief are not one dimensional binary scalars

Faith and belief have multiple definitions.  It is possible to believe something based on one definition but disbelieve the very same thing based on another definition.  There is also a matter of the possibility of considering qualitative vs quantitative measurements, one could say that belief in something is not all or none but one can grow or shrink in their degree of belief but even that is difficult to say because it doesn't seem proper to assign a number to it.

Bizarrely my belief in the existence of God has gotten less and less the more I study matters pertaining to God's existence likewise my faith as to which God or gods exist as opposed to other conceptions of the divine that do not fit reality is much less specific than it used to be.

None the less if I am not imagining the existence of God, I am more and more assured of my love for God and God's love for me and can tell that it such a God truly exists I am growing in my relationship with God.

Contemporary English Version
But if we say we love God and don't love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don't love the people we can see?
