Faith can mean that, but trust is usually earned and is not typically blind – normally you would have REASON to trust someone or something. Faith has no such implication.
Why do you assume that believers would not have any reason to trust God?
Then you are just a mindless puppet. But wait – your statement is ambiguous – you say it is not your own effort and then you say God completes the action – which is it? You or God? If God were to influence you being faithful then that really devalues your own efforts if any. And this is your cue to explain how humans are so weak and helpless that they can’t do anything worthwhile without God’s help – right?
Both. However, faith is never our own effort without God because we cannot do anything that is truly good without God. Faith itself is usually not called an action in order to differentiate between works.
Ever tried moving any mountains recently?
No, but I don't have true faith to move a mountain, nor does God tell me to.
Of course since it assumes God exists – we on the hand have no rational base to believe he exists and any who claim faith in God do so completely blindly.
Believing that God exists is not faith.
And here you are just plain wrong – and being uncertain is not irrational – and nowhere does science ever claim absolute certainty unlike religion.
So is faith based up irrationality or uncertainty? Clearly, you must have faith in something or someone, if even yourself, to have any certitude.
As for human endeavors – for sure many people place unjustified faith in their efforts and actions and usually pay a high price when their gambles fail miserably. Most worthwhile human endeavors are founded on hard work, training, education, and solid evidence for going forward.
Hard work, training, and education lessen the risk of failure, but the risk still exists. Now since you bring up success in the work place, what sort of foundation must someone who desires virtues have?
Any belief that a god exists or that a god will help in any way is founded entirely on pure blind faith – this is the exact opposite of real science.
For someone who claims to not have faith in God, it's strange that you classify a believer's faith as irrational. For instance, I would consider Newton quite rational. With the evidence he had at hand, he developed a fairly accurate model of gravity that served his need. Thus, while the developing of the model was rational, the model itself was not completely accurate. Now since it's impossible for you to know why each theist believes in God, claiming to know is just as irrational. Perhaps the theist does not have prior knowledge that you have, but is still making a rational decision to believe based upon his knowledge. Maybe the theist believes in God based upon Pascal's gamble. It seems to me that there is much less inherent risk in theism as long as you don't join a cult, and remain free thinking.
