I did misunderstand your first post. We say the same thing from differing vantages. In your view, if I get you, faith is not a heritage, but a choice made only by volition of the individual.
In my experience, with no birthright of faith, I came to define blind faith differently than you are saying. It was not handed down to me, and so faith is the moment I chose to believe in what I could not prove by logic; therefore trusting in a realm which my mind, however keen, could not see into nor fathom, nor comprehend.
