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.
R u mad?? every day normal natural things does not take faith.. faith is for Christians because u dont know if a fairy tail is real.. so u hope and pray,, that requires that thing called faith..

I have faith that the bar stool under my ass won't degenerate into quantum particles while I'm sitting on it, I have faith the the tasty ale I'm enjoying will continue to be agreeably tasty, I have faith that I will shortly be inebriated.
Furthermore, I have faith that equivocating between faith in the supernatural and faith based on inductive processes and empiricism is utter bullshit.
