Sure, anything can start with faith. Like that guy that comes down my chimney every year to bring presents. Unfortunately without hard evidence, the only reason anyone would remain in the faith is through isolation or force.
To me, the fact that a bunch of people enjoying what should be utter happiness can be convinced that someone could be better than the current boss means the current boss must be flawed. We can see how flawed his views are in everything we disagree with in the bible. You could say he works in mysterious ways, and we just have to have faith that these awful things have a good purpose, but I'm going to need a good explanation other than "because I'll beat your ass if you don't get back in line", like my dad likes to say.
