I think the problem Baler is that the word has multiple definitions including belief without evidence/proof and a strong belief in God. Those latter definitions are why faith is so often correlated with religion. The way in which you are using the term is not the same as it is used with regard to religion which is how most people associate it.
It's like telling two acrophobes to make sure they are high enough to reach the top shelf before stopping, while one of them is climbing a ladder and the other is puffing a hash pipe. ^^
