Whats the point of feeding and survival for creatures that don't breed by fucking each other, can't taste food? These "meanings" is just very primitive instincts, if nothing more drive vampires in their unlife - they indeed monstrous oversized humanoid hybrid of tick and mosquito. They parasites and definitely can't be count as "peak of food chain".
What's the meaning of life? Humans have struggled with that concept since before history, and Vampires can very much ask themselves what the point of Unlife or Death is. They're parasites, sure, but they are also ruled by the primordial urges of
The Beast, and most vampires know full well that they are cursed. They have no more wish to meet their maker than any murderer or raper that have had the misfortune to peer behind the veil of reality and be burned by the face of God.
The very existence of being a Vampire eventually pushes the cursed in question to commit unspeakable acts that would've been unthinkable for most in their previous life, and if they don't walk down that path themselves, the beast eventually makes sure that if they were reluctant to kill earlier, they are going to get used to it sooner or later. And if they are some kind of snowflake that somehow manages to trip a path between Humanity and the Beast, the Jyhad and the politics will find them, sooner or later, whether it's a group of Sabbat setting fire to your legs as they force you to murder a Christian family in rural Wisconsin to prove your loyalty, or if it's the Camarilla playing you into betraying your friends and murderhoboing their ghouls to cover up the crime.
My point being that vampirism, bearing the mark of Caine, it's very explicitly a curse, and while you're not alive, most kindred sure as hell are not in a hurry to speed towards final death. Even the most devout of vampires, who try desperately to hold on to their Humanity, rarely go to meet the sunshine at the end of a long night. After being embraced, most find new things to do, whether they want to or not. Most do not realize their cursed state until it is far too late. And that's ignoring the many, many vamps that do not consider it a curse at all.
So yeah, you said what I said. "Genuinely and truly knowing that entity X is real" would require some personal contact. Wether that even still constitutes faith is debatable.
Oh, I'm sorry, you're genuinely autistic. My apologies. I assumed for a second that you weren't functionally retarded. You see, what I'm inferring here is a state of subjective knowing, as experienced by people that "know for a fact" even things that aren't necessarily true. That is the "genuine" part of "genuine faith". I'm sorry, I assumed you weren't retarded. Now I know.
So yes, you need an object.
Jesus Christ, the dyslexia and retardation is too hard here. Bless your heart, special child.

Star of David, Crucifix, whatever. Just believing in being saved by a higher power apparently doesn't do the trick. Unless you're trying to tell me that this is implicit because Christians can only be consciously aware of their faith if they have a fucking crucifix in their hands, or because they believe the crucifix is a magic weapon and God couldn't do shit for you if you left it at home.
