in this case to use electricity in their house rather than gas
their decision wasnt based on knowing exactly how electricity works
it was based on having first-hand knowledge of the effects of electricity in their home
thats what i was trying to say about all of us having faith in something

No, that's "reasonable expectation." If I've learned from experience that a light comes on when I flip the switch, I can reasonably expect the light to come on the next time I flip the switch (unless the bulb's burned out or the power's out or...).
Similiarly, I don't have "faith" that the sun will rise tomorrow; based on my experience, I reasonably expect it to.
