English term or phrase: leap of faith

konteksu su razni bolni i opasni rituali u regionu juznog Pacifika..

Leap of faith je "the act of believing in something without, or in spite of, available empirical evidence. It is an act commonly associated with religious belief as many religions consider faith to be an essential element of piety."

...but they do take the South Pacific’s most dangerous leap of faith … an ancient ritual that bears an uncanny resemblance to one of today’s most popular action sports.

Serbo-Croat translation:skok vere

Explanation:
Mislim da se to u verskoj literaturi prevodi bas tako, doslovno. E, sad, u tvom konkretnom primeru, posto je rec o nekakvim opasnim ritualima, treba videti da li se bukvalno radi o vratolomnim skokovima - u kom slucaju, definitivno treba prevesti to kao "skok vere", pogotovo ako to titlujes pa treba da bude i sto krace...

vjerujem da se radi o ritualima koji su izvodljivi isključivo zahvaljujući slijepom vjerovanju
