An interesting topic to be sure.

I know a lot of non religious possibly atheist men who are very successful business men. When one of them says "keep the faith" it is referring to believing in good outcomes even when things look tough, which are then in fact manifested because you had faith in a good outcome. It is faith in an outcome, possibly tied with faith in yourself and your abilities that allows you to make very tough things happen.

Loose that faith in a good outcome and you give up, which in turn manifests an assured failure.

That is the key to faith, believing in things going right allows the power of the mind to be unleashed. The person who believes he can overcome obstacles and opposition and does everything at his disposal to make it happen has a chance, especially when the original faith in a good outcome was based on viability.

I explored many religions, and what I saw as a common denominator was that any religious faith's success stories of turning someone's life around who was on skid row due to newfound faith are similar. The person who is at bottom turns loose of all negativity and grasps at something to believe in. The fact that their mind becomes open makes it open to the power of positive thoughts which then allows them to start making the positive changes that allow success to come into their life. The real power is all the individual who has become powerful in a positive direction due to something to believe in.

I came away from the exploration of religions with an unshakable faith in myself and my abilities. I have committed to things others said couldn't happen and made them work through sheer force of will.

The question has been put to me in a lot of ways, "Keith, what is it you believe in, everyone has to believe in something". My response is that I believe in myself, and that belief is as powerful as anyone's belief in a religious concept. The only real difference is that a belief in myself allows constant assessment of changing circumstances, religions make people walk a pretty set line that doesn't work in many instances (Like politics for one).
