No, it is not. You had a perfectly good example going and then you tossed it. It is indeed rational to believe a concrete bridge is better than a wooden one, but on the other hand, I may be unaware of a fatal crack in the structure of a concrete bridge and it may give way. To put things into a more mathematically likely context, I may have a choice between two wooden bridges, one of which looks stronger but has rot that is hidden under the surface.
Faith is a decision made without all the facts, but we make such decisions daily. 6 and 5 and pickem.
Obviously I don't agree with your characterization of religion either, but let's move on as you suggest. Perhaps someone has been waiting to steal the thread back and put it on topic.
