Jesus was unique in preaching the significance of faith and it is exclusive to Christianity.  No other religion is based on faith as distinguished from mere belief.  Faith is mentioned 229 times in the Bible's New Testament.  An example is Jesus observing the powerful healing faith of a Roman centurion:  "Assuredly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!" (Matthew 8:10-12)
