Does faith undermine reason or enhance the intellectual process?

A:

Faith is belief that does not require proof, while reason is the faculty by which conclusions are drawn from information and the understanding of that information. Intellect is the faculty of reasoning, but faith does not require reasoning, and even abjures the use of reason, and therefore does not enhance the intellectual process or ability to reason.

Faithmay tell some that God exists, whilereasontells others that there is no God. The first group must suspend reason in order to have faith, although they may be Excellent at reasoning on non-religious issues. Whether faith undermines reason depends on the individual and his or her ability to use reason in non-religious contexts.
