faith

: strong belief or trust in someone or something

: belief in the existence of God : strong religious feelings or beliefs

: a system of religious beliefs



So yes, first definition can be related to sobriety without theology. Having faith in one's self, or in the collective wisdom of a fwellowship, or a behavioural workshop.

That's good to ponder, thanks Dee. It will help me get over the misconception of 'faith' as being a religious concept.
