Faith
What a wonderfully dynamic term. The more I read the more I like it. The
dictionary provides meanings that point to something, but lead away in
unpredictable directions. There is a similar sense of tension between
release and bondage among its synonyms which include: 

certainty, confidence, acceptance, dependence
hope, reliance, sureness, allegiance 
belief

These seem broad enough to cover beliefs of many flavors.
But you insist, not yours.

The repetition and tone of your argument make plain what I said a few posts
ago: 

"Harping on this is not an effective way to attack the religious right," 

Look how easy it has been arguing your position to a bunch of materialists,
agnostics and mystics. How convincing is your line of thought going to be to
the folks at the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, TN?

If you are actually interested in defending reason against dogma and truth
against charlatans this is not fruitful line to pursue.
