Is all this really necessary for you when it's right on the thread?

Faith was used by a man to describe belief in a manmade religion. To convince me that faith was ever about belief in something that wasn't manmade, you'll have to show me a religion that isn't (or wasn't as the case may be) man made.
Just because some people believe their religion isn't manmade, this misapprehension doesn't allow you to infer that their religion isn't manmade.
It doesn't matter if an atheist, Buddhist, anarchist, gymnast, entomologist or a tennis ball claims that faith meant man made belief in the bible when the text unequivocally says it is not.
