I think faith is fine. What bugs me is when certain religions try to push me to change my thoughts, based on "faith", to some other belief when there is no reason to change. And I guess that's the real essence.... believe what you want but don't condem me if I don't agree with your religion.
Franklin and all the other founders founded the country on a freedom of and from religion. They didn't actually go along with christianity as is. But everyone you hear nowadays tries to claim that was the case.
No matter what you believe, if it is spiritual, it requires faith. And when you read the current Time magazine article you'll find that has had many faces over the past 2,003 years in the christian religion.
