If my wife says she doesn't cheat on me, I believe her. That's a belief. I don't have enough data to say otherwise and I trust her.
I have faith that she will continue to not cheat. Faith in her personality.Faith that she will continue to be the same person... I have no way to know what will happen nor to control it, so I must resort to faith...
Mind you, it's not faith in the existence of some magician entity... just faith...hope... that what is, will be... statistics suggest it is a reasonable faith, as I've been having it for almost 10 years and it looks the same now as it did then.
Also I like to pride myself with being a relatively god judge of character. :p
I do not believe in all the people who have provided me with an account of things I cannot reasonably experience myself. This lack of belief in the accounts off those people (and let's count the people who wrote certain books) leads top a lack of faith that some events, predicted by those people, will come too pass.
Religions did not invent the concepts of belief and faith...
