The particular beliefs are more local, more stabilized, more codified,
while this underlying faith and hope in life is more restless,
open-ended, disturbing, inchoate, unpredictable, destabilizing, less
confinable.
If you cease to ‘believe’ in a particular religious creed, you have
merely changed your mind. But if you lose ‘faith,’ a way of life,
everything is lost.
-- John D. Caputo, a professor of religion and humanities at SyracuseDerrida calls this a “religion without religion.”

Religion Without Religion.”
