Fact?

I was given several copies of "The Watchtower" yesterday. It is an official Jehovahs Witness publication. This one struck me as particularly interesting.

I believe, according to definition, religious beliefs always fall under the heading of "Faith."

 faith (from dictionary.com) 
–noun

    [feyth] 

 1.

 confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.

 2.

 belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.

 3.

belief in god or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims.

4.

belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with            someone concerning honesty.

5.

a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith. 

However, this publication continually refers to thier beliefs as fact.

fact (from dictionary.com)

[fakt] 

–noun

1.

something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.

2.

something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.

3.

a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.

Representing something to be fact that you admit is a matter of faith (since there is no scientific evidence to support it) seems very deceitful.
