Religious people will often say to me, "But, you have faith too ...." so I have trained myself to cut them off before they can finish the mischaracterization with, "I have reasonable expectations based on prior evidence." I can now rattle that off in about three seconds. What usually happens, then, are several seconds of blank silence while that sinks in. It would be nice if I had a single term that had a definition that most people would recognize as the same thing as saying that whole sentence, so if you know such a word, please tell me.
