Faith inspires, no offence intended but, I chuckled a bit. Perhaps you define faith differently but, faith according to every christian I'VE spoken too means unquestioning loyalty despite any and all evidence.
So you cannot have a god that demands questioning and doubt that also asks for faith.
Do you also admit that you would not live by the law if there were no god? That seems to be what you're saying there. In that case please stay away from children you're dangerous and will be locked up eventually.
And no, the opposite of faith is evidence. Faith and fear are completely seperate, you can have fear with or without faith, and you can have faith with or without fear. You could beleive in god simply because you were raised to do so and also fear that same god because of what you think he will do.
And to equate it with christianity, is not nearly as far off as you suggest. If you are talking about the ones who ignore the bible and follow only the 'teachings of christ' (which from what I have heard are all messages of loving others and supporthing those who need it and such) then know that they are not who I am talking about. I am talking about the christians who seperate their daughter from her boyfriend on valentines day telling her they did it to save her from hell, the christians who for fear of even touching the subject of there not being a god attack atheists and agnostics without knowing the first thing about them, the christians who shut the door in a neighbors face when they discover he is homosexual, for fear of their children becoming homosexual (when they are ignorant to think anything of the sort). Oh, and for the record the first two examples are real examples that I witnessed, the third I have not seen first hand but, seems like the kinda crap that is happening in california USA. right now.
The term christian describes a great variety of people, even the things you think are central to christian beleif are not central to many christians. Including the idea of who wrote the book btw.
