Being '''faithless''' describes a state where a person lacks the discipline and direction to follow [[Christ]] fully. The range of '''faithlessness''' may vary in degree from absolute [[atheism]] to simply needing guidance.
The difference between '''a faithless person''' and an [[atheist]] is that a faithless person has no strong belief in [[God]] whereas an atheist has no belief at all in [[God]]. An atheist is faithless, but a faithless person is not necessarily atheist.
Many people struggle with their [[Faith]] in God, due to the complexities of the [[universe]] and our human incapability to understand it. The way for '''a faithless person''' to rebuild their connection with [[God]] is to [[repent]] for their [[sin]] of not trusting him and to attend [[Mass]] to show they are willing to trust in God.
''Lean not on your own understanding, but trust in the LORD with all your heart.''
-Proverbs 3:5
==Examples of Faithless People==
Here is a partial (but not exhaustive) list of some faithless groups of people:
*[[Hollywood]]
*[[Liberals]]
*Several college professors
*The [[Obama]] administration
*[[Atheists]]
*[[Liberals]]
*[[Homosexuals]]
*[[Sinner|Sinners]]
*Non-conservative [[MSM|media]]
*[[Evolutionists]]
*[[Global Warming]] "scientists"
*Psychopaths
*[[Liberals]]
==Signs of Faithlessness==
There are many signs to identify if a person is '''faithless''' or may not have a strong [[Faith]] in God. A person may outright declare their disbelief in [[God]] (in which case, one should try to direct the person back into [[Christ]]'s arms); however, sometimes less subtle clues can indicate a person's shaky standing with their relation to God. Be on the lookout for some of the following signs.
===Disregard for Sin===
A person who disregards [[sin]] in entirety and leads a hedonistic lifestyle may be at risk of being faithless. For example, a [[homosexual]] does not care that his actions are sinful perhaps because he is not confident in the existence of [[God]]. Another such example is that people who use drugs disregard that "the body is a temple". Be on the lookout for violence, sex, and other Sin; as they may indicate one has lost their direction toward [[Jesus Christ]].
===Need for Proof of God===
Many times one will try to reinforce their Faith by stating that there is undeniable proof of God. In reality, one is possibly unsure about one's [[Faith]] and is trying to make "logical" reasons to why their Faith is right. This is a dangerous part of '''faithlessness''' because the person is in denial about their disbelief in God. They will try to connect science to religion and find some trivial detail that somehow "proves" the existence of [[God]]. What they fail to realize is that one does not need proof for God: if one had Faith, they could believe in [[God]] despite all of the alleged "scientific" evidence to suggest otherwise.
===Political Protest of Religion===
Supporting doctrines like [[Separation of State and Church]] might be a cry for help. People who engage in political protest against organized religion may simply be starting to lose their [[Faith]] in God. Some claim they are [[religious]] yet do not wish to push their religion onto others; however, deep down they are trying to create a feeling that it is "okay" to question their [[Faith]].

===Not Attending Mass===
Someone who does not go to [[Church]] regularly may be losing their relationship with God. Missing [[Mass]] is one of the first signs of '''faithlessness'''. Someone who does not attend Mass is not respecting God, perhaps because they [[atheism|refuse to believe]] in His existence. Usually, not attending Mass is a minor offense, but it may lead to greater grievances.
==Questioning One's Faith==
Questioning one's [[Faith]] is a normal aspect of any [[Christian]]'s path to understanding. How the follower deals with those natural questions and what results thereof determines whether not it aids to strengthening their [[Faith]] or strengthening their '''faithlessness'''.
