That's an equivocative use of the word faith that is, likely, an artifact of your having been religious and both heard and used such an equivocation to make exactly the sorts of comments you're making now.
I don't change my life based upon a meteor hitting the earth because no change I can make will affect it-NASA, however, jad both the NEO prgram and work groups assigned to come up with a solution. I do change my life to better align with consequences that will not materialize in my own life - but will in my children's. I have zero faith in political parties, and I would suggest that the people who approach politics through faith are, likely, faithfully religious as well. People look at the party platform and how it aligns with their own political opinions, the history of a candidates uccess in getting x or y done, and their credibility when it comes to delivering on a campaign promise - or at least attempting it. Then, they pull the lever. Sure, some of them faith their way through it, thinking jesus wants them to vote republican - but hey, those people are nuts, so?
