Allowed by who?

People on this board, mostly. Or just the religious.

This is why people hate Atheists
"Faith" in the way you are using the word refers to the act of believing in something without proof. That's just, literally what it means, google it.
So when someone believes something with a basis of logical validity or soundness, there's no faith involved. This is what we refer to as "knowledge", and it's fundamentally different from how faith works.

But religion is perfectly fine? Why does it get a pass?

The scientific method creates "knowledge" based on inductive reasoning, which is equivalent to faith.

Atheist isn't a proper noun.
Faith = openness to the truth, no matter what it is
Scientists have faith
The word you meant to use is belief
>>1161843
That is not the definition of faith.

If you go by "you don't really know anything" science would be a matter of faith even if you can appeal to people and say that some arguments are better than others
