Thank you for the welcome!
I called it “faith in God” because that’s how I think of it, but I might have done better not to have said “God” or even “faith.” It’s people trying to become better people, for the benefit of all people everywhere, because they want to. I think what motivates and empowers people to do that is a certain kind of love and trust, which I call “faith in God,” but I don’t think it needs to be attached to any particular view about the nature or existence of any god or gods.
