ravi, I like the way the woman formulated it best.
Faith is primary and is affective, not cognitive. Doubt is something
that actually strengthens true faith by lending it a cognitive
content. So doubt is a constituent of faith. Faith and doubt are in
dialogue with each other.
Certainty is hermetically sealed. In repudiating doubt, it discloses
the essential faithlessness of a "faith" that is so fragile that it
cannot entertain doubt. It is monotonic. Its cognitive dimension
consists of a rationalization of its fearful retreat from engagement
with an other.

The opposite of doubt is not faith, it is certainty.
