You didn't read my post, which you quoted, very carefully. If it's impossible to definitively say whether God exists or not, then regardless of whether a person has a positive or negative opinion about His existence, it's still faith, because NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY PROVE EITHER WAY.
If you don't understand this with the example of God, then you can consider the same thing with the example of a painting that may be hanging in one room, while two people are arguing in another room. One believes that it is hanging there because he read about it in a source he trusts; the other believes that it is not hanging there because he has not seen anyone hang it there. And you can argue endlessly about concepts and definitions, but they are both SURE of their own rightness, although no one can say for sure whether it is actually hanging there or not. From their own point of view, their faith is positive (naturally, who would believe in something negative?), but from your point of view, looking at them from the outside, their faith is negative, because one's faith denies the other's faith, and a conflict of opposing beliefs arises. Now you, dear Apple, come in and tell them: "You are both idiots because you are arguing about nothing, about something you don't really know, and you are just waving your hands in the air and shaking the air. It's better to make peace and have some tea."

Yes, in Soviet times, Orthodoxy was underground, and the Communist Party was dominant. But a little earlier, it was exactly the opposite, and for a much longer time. The Church got what it deserved because its guilt in the collapse of Tsarist Russia is by no means insignificant. If you know the history of Russia, including its church history, then you understand what I mean.
