I hope you don't mind if I comment even though your post was not addressed to me. I feel that I am very objective, yet my faith is strong. I would say there are many factors that strengthen faith. One is a personal experience with God, where he supernaturally reveals himself. Another factor is intellectual understanding about your belief system and being satisfied that your scriptures are reliable. Another factor is an attitude of heart, where we approach God humbly, as a child willing to be taught. And finally, faith grows when we step out on it, when we test it and find that it works. A car in your driveway doesn't do you any good unless you get in it and drive it. If you can believe that there is a God who wants to be known, seek him. He will not hide from you. Speak to him and ask him to reveal himself to you. He will.
