“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth…”

Faith is the justification that people give when they believe something for no good reason.

You can believe anything based on faith, therefore, it's not a reliable path to truth.

Only reason is.

The faster our civilization gets rid of faith, the better off we'll be.

Fides et ratio was written to address that problematic way of thinking (what you just expressed). Maybe give it a read.
Could you outline what's problematic about it here?
