The sacraments? What are those? Why should I care about then?
Doctrine? What is that thing? Is it related to some doctor?
Do note that both those term have implicit belief that some extraordinary agent exists... around here, that belief is far from granted.

If belief is hope, then pretty much anything requires it. If I get a job, it is with hope for money and their hope for my work. Everything I do requires faith in something for us to function as a society.
