No, that's a common misconception. Faith in the context of religion requires or enables action. It's taking your belief and acting on it.

- slothtrop 3y agoThat is just what follows from faith, not the definition of faith. That is just as true of anything someone really believes in; your actions would or ought not be incongruent with your beliefs. If you believed animals are sentient and ought not be harmed at all, then you wouldn't harm them. But those actions that follow have no bearing on the meaning of belief or faith (where the latter can be distinguished as being a "willful" belief).
