JB>-> Faith is simply synonymous with belief and trust (in any context),

JB>Faith is believing what you know ain't so.

A better way to say it is...I have FAITH in "this or that" because I 
have nothing else to rely upon.

Most religionists certainly DON'T think that faith is what you offer.
To THEM faith is proof! Not doubt.
But then...they are insane. ;)

Seriously, I believe that religiosity should be categorized as a mental 
illness. It exhibits all the qualities of same, after all.
