Religion not only form of faith Religion not only form of faith Dalel Raide Opinions Columnist Religion is not the best, nor the only, path to an understanding of God. Although they certainly can be, faith and religiousness are not necessarily synonymous, as love and blind obedience are not synonymous.
Faith involves a choice.
It is belief without the need for certain proof. In our empirical society, faith is everywhere - we trust that lack of understanding can be attributed to a lack of information, we trust that those to whom we reveal ourselves will not betray us, and we trust that our life planning and preparation will bear fruit. Faith is not mysterious. We live by it every day. Also, faith is not intellectual suicide.
