I agree with this, as you say we all have areas where we believe something without enough evidence or understanding as to why we believe it. As /u/spaceghoti says,the problem lies not in believing things we cannot prove but rather in not being willing to question a belief when it is challenged. If you don't allow for questioning of a belief, then you are able to believe in anything and as a result are very susceptible to manipulation within your beliefs.
I lost my belief in god because in the end, to give a very short summary, I could give no reason why my belief made more sense than other religions that did not include needing to have faith. Then my next question was, why do I have faith in this religion rather than the others that require the same. I think reaching that question was the end.
