'''Faith''' (1200–50; Middle English feith < Anglo-French fed, Old French feid, feit < Latin fidem, accusative of fidēs trust, akin to fīdere to trust.) is a confidence or trust in a person or thing. It is a confidence or trust in the achievement of God's will, even though unseen and unexpected by non-believers. It can be a belief that is not based on proof. A belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion. It is also a belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc. It can also mean a system of religious belief : ''the Christian faith; the Jewish faith''.

Faith is quite posibbly the worst thing to happen to mankind, and has caused millions of deaths.
Faith embodies more than belief. Faith elevates one's being, while belief is limited to a mental state or emotion. Faith implies a [[causation|causal]] role by the believer in an outcome<ref>For example, the Biblical [[Peter]]'s walking on water based on his faith.</ref> or in overcoming a personal fear. Faith also implies advancement or accomplishment rather than wrongdoing, while belief implies neither.
[[Liberals]] and non-believers in general (see [[Atheism]]) will often try to use common descriptions of faith against faith in God the Lord. Dictionaries and other blasphemous publications, almost always with a strong [[liberal bias]], describe faith as the blind belief in something for which there is no evidence. This, however, is wrong. Faith can also describe the true, benevolent belief in our Lord God, for which there are literally oceans of evidence, but mainstream publications simply won't admit that, probably due to deceit. One should mind, however, that the true, transcedental definition of faith is *completely* different from any other, as [[Christianity]] is superior to any other form of belief.
