Faith is a term that never ‘clicked’ with me and “belief’ also leaves me with a “what does that really mean?” feeling. I understand hope. There’s some future event that you hope comes to pass, so you make plans and do things to work towards it in some way and hope everybody else does their part too. So, for me it’s goal oriented with lag. But faith or belief as stand-alone concept no matter how many ways I’ve seen them described, always leaves me a little empty. Trust, I get. You can measure trust and refine it. It has parameters and metrics to work with. Faith and belief though… I dunno, were always hollow.

I’m not saying people’s faith or belief is hollow. I just mean that, without context around them, as terms they don’t hold much meaning for me outside of synonyms.
