No, it refers to believing in something for which there is little or no evidence. Can you name anything that is both of no consequence and whose existence is not supported by any meaningful amount of tangible evidence that has a following of believers that measure in the hundreds of millions?
Yes. Buddhism. Hinduism. Sikhism. Confuciousism. Shintoism. Judaism. I'm sure with some effort I could come up with others. I do not buy that Christians believe because they are afraid not to. Could you believe something you don't because you were afraid?
