Why are people so hung up on the word faith being attached to religion.

Example: a trust circle. a person stands in the middle and has to trust the people around them that they will catch them when they lean over to fall.
The person in the middle has faith that the people around them will catch them when they lean over to fall.

Trust in something. You trust that science is true so you can explain things. You have faith in science. Science is a faith for people.

edit: another example: I have faith that my jalopy will make it over this next hill.
