No no. You've misunderstood. Proof of the spiritual world would prove certain religious worldviews, making having faith in such worldviews irrelevent. You only have faith where doubt is possible. Think about it. It's like trust. You only trust someone in an area if they can let you down.

That's kind of the pointless thing about arguing proofs in faith. If you prove it beyond question, it's no longer faith. Although, it could be said, from a hypothetical proof, you could expand your faith into new areas resultant from that.
