What do you call belief in something based on evidence.... but that still might not be true?
A reasonable expectation perhaps? For instance I know the process for the why the sun rises and sets, and although I can't say with absolutely certainty that will tomorrow, all evidence says that it will. Notice it's evidence that leads me to that conclusion, not faith.
It seems like you think a person either doesn't believe something, or believes it to be absolutely true. There are other levels of belief where evidence supports that something is likely true, or could be true, or is just possible, and in those cases I'm perfectly happy to say that I'm actively seeking further evidence so that I can know more about that subject.
However, god ideas don't fit into any of those categories. There is no evidence. And it's very odd to see people organize their lives around the idea as though they know it to be true.
