Maybe the stumbling block here, is the word "Faith".
Since it is so foundational to Christianity.
What if the word was "trust" instead?
Or, "Belief" (well -that may be too touchy).
Who doesn't exercise faith every day?....you drive you car, ride a bike, fly in a plane, walk to get the mail.
You trust (based on whatever..) that the rewards outweigh the risk.
THAT is faith.
As far as we use the English language -all these words are interchangeable.
