I see your point. However, honesty is a virtue that is revealed in context, i.e. in dealings with others. Faith, however, is a virtue that, I contend, provides an impetus to moving forward in life, whether one is dealing with others, or whether one is all alone (literally or figuratively). Certainly, the notion of faith today is overused and limited simply to holding a staunch belief. This is not what I mean by faith.

For me, there has to be purpose, meaning, and direction for life to be worth living. Thus, for me, the overarching (spiritual) element (or the consciousness behind it) that creates this virtual context that ties the events life together such that it unfolds in a meaningful way is what I call faith.
