Not so. Religious faith is not synonymous with trust, although other denotations of faith are synonymous with "trust". The religious denotation is not one of them. Here, here's the OED. Let's read this slowly:

Both faith and fidelity (Late Middle English) come from the Latin word fides. Fido, a traditional name for a dog, is also related—it represents the Latin for ‘I trust’. Other words from the same source include confident (late 16th century), confide (Late Middle English), and diffident (Late Middle English) which originally meant ‘lacking in trust’. Fiancée, the French for ‘promised’, which goes back to fides is related. See also infidel
