Yes faith is supported by critical thinking, common sense etc. We are not talking about 'blind' faith here. Supported faith may not seem like a feeling but it is. Faith is the indicator of how much we accept things to be true.

For me faith is based on critical thinking, common sense, past experience and intuition (some might consider this a gut feeling). It has to pass many tests for me to have 'faith' in a concept, proposition or theory.
