HM - you seem to have such a negative opinion of the word. It surprises me.
Here, from wiki:
"Believing a certain variable will act or has the potential to act a specific way despite the potential influence and probability of known or unknown change.
* To have faith that one's spouse will keep a promise or commitment.
* To have faith that the world will someday be peaceful.
* To have faith that a person will pay you back.
* To have faith that you will be okay despite adversity.
* To have faith in one's full dependence on the will of supernatural forces or deities."
Within certain contexts faith is a great thing - applied or used inappropriately it can be potentially very bad.
