Removed the section "Faith as commitment" because as it stands it is not well written section. If someone wants to re-write it, get the text from history.
(reasoning in italics): Sometimes, faith means a belief in a relationship with a deity. redundant.
In this case, "faith" is used in the sense of "fidelity." not explained
For many Jews, the Hebrew Bible and Talmud depict a committed but contentious relationship between their God and the Children of Israel. This is covered in "Judaism" with a link to "Main article: Jewish principles of faith"
For a lot of people, faith or the lack thereof, is an important part of their identity, for example a person who identifies himself or herself as a Muslim or a skeptic. way to generic for an article that goes into so much detail elsewhere, maybe add to intro?
According to Michael Green (theologian) faith is "Self-commitment on the basis of evidence". unreferenced, if included it needs expanding and explanation.
With reference to this article on Faith "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith", you forgot to include the Sikh Faith. Kindly reseach and include that to this section, because like Hindu, Christianity, Buddhu, and Islam faiths, Sikh faith is a major world religion. Thanks. Good work on the article!
It is ignorant and inaccurate to say "Faith itself is not a religious concept in Sikhism." There are many hundreds of references to faith in the main Sikh scripture, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Please research and correct accordingly! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.183.74 (talk) 05:56, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
You will never be happy here. As twisted and biased in favor of what the masses think as it is, wiki/an encyclopedia, is still nonetheless fact based. A wiki article perforce will attempt to describe, i.e. to recount the facts of faith. So facts and faith, the source of your complaint are in fundamental opposition, faith is what you have when you believe without evidence or rather without even the possibility of evidence. Believers want their faith confirmed not confronted which is what describing it in a factitious way does.
It will be interesting to see how this article develops over time and in particular if the difference between faith granted (with the possibility of retraction) vs the other kind which is what the article is currently about cleaves cleanly rather than skirting as the academic obfuscation under the current epistemology § does.

The sentence "Within the Calvinist tradition the degree of prosperity[52] may serve as an analog of level of faith." seems to imply that Calvinism is similar to the prosperity gospel, which I don't believe is true. Calvinism is usually defined by TULIP and the page on Calvinism makes no mention of prosperity theology. Lastly, anecdotally, all the Calvinists I know are vehemently opposed to the prosperity gospel. Does anyone have a reason this sentence shouldn't be deleted?
