Regardless of religious beliefs-doesn't it take a tremendous amount of faith to keep looking?
[/ QUOTE ]
Of course not.
It takes faith to believe the results will be positive. But it doesn't take any faith just to look.

What basis is there to keep believing?
[/ QUOTE ]
1. It is very likely that life exists elsewhere in the universe.
2. If such life exists, it may realize #1 and try to communicate with life elsewhere.
3. If it does try to communicate with life elsewhere, we may as well be on the lookout.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, that'd be fine.
