That quote comes from Following the Equator; context here: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3200/pg3200.html#id30339 -
which makes it a fictional quote from a fictional chronicle of a fictional character of another of his novels, The Tragedy of Puddn'head Wilson. Therefore, it wasn't really Twain himself who said it or even an implication that he personally thought that way.

What do you think faith is?
