When you believe something, you know it in your head to be true. When you have faith in something, you know it in your heart to be true.

Faith is the belief in something without the need for proof. Belief is the acceptance of the likelihood of one of many variable circumstances. Faith is a state of affair whereas "believe" suggest that there is an active participation in the acceptance of a circumstance.

Faith is trusting something to be true or right without any concrete factual proof, and belief is something that one believes to be true, and accepted by ones self or group of people.

So faith is trusting that the Red Sea (Sea of Reeds) split, just because we trust that God exists, and belief is trusting that the Red Sea split because there has been some sort of proof given to us that may explain why it had split other than "blind faith".

Faith is believing in something even though you can't see it or touch it. Belief is when you think something is true when you have seen it or know it to be true.

Faith is something that you i your heart know to be true even though there is not much evidence to support it. Believe is something you think is true.

Faith is blind allegiance. Believe is you need proof or have seen some kind of proof it exists.

Nothing in religious terms - they both refer to accepting something as true for which there is no evidence. It's a psychological thing that gives people comfort.
