takes on faith
Accepts without proof
Takes on faith means to accept something as true without proof or verification, trusting in its validity.
The phrase draws from religious faith—belief without empirical evidence—but applies broadly: I'll take on faith that you know what you're doing.
It often implies a degree of risk or vulnerability in the acceptance.
