Do you really believe, or do you just tell yourself that's the way it is and go with it? You see this all the time within closed religious communities. Ignorance and sometimes brainwashing convinces people that they believe things no rational person could ever buy into. In today's society of wishy-washy followers, it seems like true believers in any thing are getting to be rare. The people you see who are hardcore in their beliefs seem to be random nutjobs (see recent not quite Rapture). What is going on out there? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want a world full of super religious people running around out there chastising the rest of us (we've had enough Crusades), but there are just too many half-assed ramblings going on for comfort. I am all for having a belief, or having faith as I think of it, but make sure you are really following your own heart.
Faith is something that should be a part of daily life. It inspires you and gives you motivation to move forward, to take chances, and to better yourself. Religion does not have to be part of your faith. You can believe in any number of things without the need for a God or a Goddess. Try having faith in yourself, or in your loved one, or in any number of small mundane things that you encounter throughout your day. I think you'll find a little bit goes a long way.
Just don't have too much faith in me posting more regularly :p
