Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Belief and faith are closely related and, aside from some
subjective conflict of definition, are mutually dependent.
Generally speaking, faith is restricted to religious and/or
positive contexts whereas belief/believing can be applied
in any context. Belief is often more explainable than
faith; it makes more sense to ask "why do you believe
that" than to ask "why do you have faith in that".
