... I question the faith that we put in ourselves....
You keep saying that.
The reason we have "faith in ourselves" is because we're the most reliable friend we have. All gods are deadbeat dads, "friends" who aren't available when we have furniture to move.
You may believe in a god who is always there for you but in reality there is none. You're "philosophically free" to beleve he's somewhere out there but realistically it doesn't make a damn bit of difference if he is.
Thus you quite likely accept logic, reason, and reality and shun faith...for the most part?
We should accept what is applicable to a certain situation and shun what is not applicable. When logic, reason and reality are applicable, why would we not use them? Faith is only acceptable when we can not use logic, reason and reality.
