Webster.com defines faith as: 1 a : allegiance to duty or a person : LOYALTY b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs.
My definition of faith is definitely this last one excluding the "system of religious beliefs" part.
I agree with Elcoholic's view even if I don't think there's anything wrong with having faith, at least when it's "something that is believed especially with strong conviction".
