my definition would be when u dont know if something is true but you want it to be so you say that u believe it.
when it comes to beliefs i think its important to separate ur ego from ur knowledge. list what you know and what u can reason and try to stop there and avoid making a definitive judgement call. "because of so and so i think this is likely to be true" rather than what i would see as a faith mindset if you said "because of so and so i believe this is true". most people will just say "believe" rather than "likely to be true" just cause its easier but i think its good to know distinction. if u start believing things rather than keeping a more open mind then u may stop questioning and learning.
sometimes u may not have ready access to information to a question and having "faith" in something can be a useful way to not worry about knowing the actual answer.
