I tried looking up the terms on several dictionaries and they might as well be synonyms...
Would you go to church if they spoke highly of "credulity" instead of "faith"?

President George W. Bush: "I don't see how you can be president at least from my perspective, how you can be president, without a relationship with the Lord," 2004-JAN-11 in an interview with The Washington Times.

I think credulity is more closely related to gullible whereas faith is a more prominent form of credulity.

Faith is the will to believe without evidence. Credulity is the will to believe with slight or uncertain evidence. I think there is a little difference.
No evidence versus slight or uncertain evidence is the difference.

Faith is the positive aspect of credulity. It's related to trust, for instance. As in 'I have faith in you'. Nothing wrong with that. We can't be skeptics in every aspect of our lives, that would in fact tear society apart.

Faith is believing something that can not be proven whereas credulity is not.

Yes, I would still believe. I know my faith is not based on provable things. If it were, it would not be faith.
