The first definition given for the word faith is 'to have confidence or trust in a person or thing'.

Having faith in someone does not mean it is about religion, religious beliefs, messiahs, or cults of personality.

I have trust & confidence in Sanders because he is congruent and consistent. He has a proven track record of supporting the policies and principles that I know to be necessary for our day and age.

I will offer a more intense level of support for someone who earns my trust. I will do what I can do 'have their back'. I have volunteered to work on his campaign, so yes, I may literally one day stand by his side.

Have we all become so jaded by the New Atheist versus Fundamentalist religious believers culture wars that we can not use words about trust and metaphors of support without having to rationalize and explain them away?

Hell yes I have faith in Sanders!!!
