or how is it defined?
Name all the religions that don't have a deity... a focus... something to have FAITH in.
I don't see how you can realistically avoid it.

1. belief in, worship of, or obedience to a supernatural power or powers considered to be divine or to have control of human destiny
2. any formal or institutionalized expression of such belief: the Christian religion
3. the attitude and feeling of one who believes in a transcendent controlling power or powers

Re: Faith v Religion
Why make assumption that one must have faith "in" something rather than just having faith? Steve Jobs had tremendous faith to accomplish what he did. Was it faith "in" something or was it just faith. I suspect the later.Swami Dring wrote:Faith.
