Faith cannot be defined it is only felt. Some like myself it is Christ, others it is Allah, Budda, the great spirit. They have all one message, forgive others, what you do to others you do to yourself. Once that message is lost then it becomes religion, and political. A good man no matter of faith or without faith will follow such a path. Atheists are good moral people and some are bad, Religious people are good moral people and some are bad. It is all in how we view life and how we conduct or own actions. Faith is not a flag to be waved or forced on others. That is probably the worst thing one can do. Free will is what defines life. For a faith based person actions speak a lot louder I think. But again that is only my path, each must have their own.
