Informal usage of the word "faith" can be quite broad, and may be used standardly in place of "trust," "belief," or "hope".

ask the person on the street how electricity works and chances are they wont be able to tell you
but with faith (a belief in the trustworthiness of the idea)
day after day
they reach out to flip a switch and expect a light to come on
they also have
faith in their ability to make the decision and in the decision they made
in this case to use electricity in their house rather than gas
their decision wasnt based on knowing exactly how electricity works
it was based on having first-hand knowledge of the effects of electricity in their home
thats what i was trying to say about all of us having faith in something
