You make your best guess about whether God exists. You don't choose if it's true.

Also, faith means "trust", not "irrational opinion".

Not quite, faith means "trust" in an "irrational opinion". Howerver, everyone should have the right to trust whatever opinion rational or irrational.

If you want to be precise, it means "trust in a person" in the original Greek. As in, the New England Patriots have faith in Bill Belichick.

That sort of faith can absolutely be rational.
