Since faith is much older than modern science i think it is very natural.
Lets take the example of our fine tuned universe.
Science claims that only tiniest of tiniest changes in physical laws would make universe inhabitable for life.

The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers (i.e. the constants of physics) seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life". "For example," Hawking writes, "if the electric charge of the electron had been only slightly different, stars would have been unable to burn hydrogen and helium, or else they would not have exploded. It seems clear that there are relatively few ranges of values for the numbers (for the constants) that would allow for development of any form of intelligent life. Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty."

It can be claimed that there must must be some design to universe on another hand one can say that it is just in our heads.This statistical miracle simply happened because it actually happen...as Hawkins says if it did not happen we would not be here to wonder about it...ok
Chose which ever you like but i think that there are no compelling evidence against any...besides maybe some general belief and association of religion with stupidity which unfortunately in many cases is backed in reality.
