Faith
Faith is the recognition of something true, often without factual or logical checks, the only into force of the internal, subjective fundamental beliefs, which does not need to establish themselves in evidence, although sometimes and looking for them[1]. The word «faith» («doctrine») is also used in the sense of «religion», «religious doctrine» - for example, the Christian faith, the Muslim faith and others[2].
A believer is a religious man[3], a representative of a particular religion, the media religious model of the world.
In the sociology of religion there are several types of believers: deep believers, who have religious faith plays a decisive role in their life and behaviour; believers, who have religious faith is of secondary significance in their lives and poorly motivated by their behavior; finally, swaying, which do not have a strong religious faith and which exhibit variation in regard to the choice between религей and atheism, which, respectively, is reflected in their behaviour[4].
Faith, perhaps, is the universal property of the human nature and the most important integral part of the world view of a believer; it penetrates in all elements of his life. There is an opinion, that faith comes from the need of man to share experiences with the other people in the course of joint work and generalization of the experience. Believers from one community have approximately the same view of the world, as are inclined to trust the experience of the people, as the past (tradition), and because of this. Therefore faith may be regarded as a collective representation of the world[5].
Often faith is estimated as an important element of the value of the consciousness, along with categories such as hope and love.
