Croatian, for example, has the same word for "belief" and "faith", and it is annoying to explain people that those are not the same thing. The guy who rode the airplane in 9/11 attack presumably believed in heaven, but most people don't, most people just have faith that heaven is real.
It sometimes does, it sometimes doesn’t. In your soul argument, I can’t see how it does.
What is the difference between believing that something exists and having faith that it exists?

I think most of the people don't really believe in heaven, that they would behave very differently if they believed in it. Why cry when somebody dear to you dies if it's only "goodbye for now", rather than "goodbye forever"?
