Belief can be based on evidence or without evidence...
When NOT based on evidence, the belief is also faith (or faith-based).
When the belief IS based on evidence then it's still a belief, but not faith - it's not a religious belief, it's not faith based (it's evidence-based).
That's what I think and how I'd put it anyway.
Faith is belief in the absence of evidence.
So belief is not necessarily faith-based or religious - if there's evidence then it's not faith based (or religious I assume thus far, since I don't know of any evidence for religion, if I did I'd 'subscribe').
