Are You Sure It's "Faith" You've Lost?

Many viewers tell me they're distressed by what they sense as a waning of their faith. My response to them is to ask this question: Is it your faith that you're losing, or your religious beliefs? The two aren't identical. In my experience, it's usually belief - dogma, doctrine, and theological argument - and not primordial faith itself that's doubted. Distress, far from signaling a loss of faith, can actually be a holy longing that leads to a richer experience of both doctrine and God.

Yeah I "lost my faith." But I gained my mind, freedom, reason, morality and truth.
I gained infinitely more than I lost.
