Faith is belief without reason. Only in a hyper-idealized (and unattainable) democratic republic do people vote and act on reason alone. The more a subject resonates with one's faith the more likely he or she is to rationalize it in context to said faith and act without reason.

If we break faith down to philosophy, ritualism, and absolute morality, only the philosophical portion can exist in the mind without affecting others.
