Buddhism does not demand blind faith from its adherents. Here mere belief is dethroned and is substituted by confidence based on knowledge, which, in Pali, is known as Saddha.

Buddhism in a Nutshell (1933)

Buddhism does not demand blind faith from its adherents. Here mere belief is dethroned and is substituted by confidence based on knowledge. ... The confidence placed by a follower on the Buddha is like that of a sick person in a noted physician, or a student in his teacher.
