I have never been to the Moon (or London) but I accept that the Moon (and London) is real. Is that faith? I don't think so since I have a whole series of logical reasons for believing that the existence of the Moon (and London) is real. But I do not have concrete, sensory proof of the existence of either (as I teeter on the brink of solipsism).

So maybe the difference (for me) between faithful truth and factual truth is the amount of evidence supporting factual truth? I'm not sure about this, just trying it out.
