Belief and faith are closely related and, aside from some
subjective conflict of definition, are mutually dependent.
Generally speaking, faith is restricted to religious and/or
positive contexts whereas belief/believing can be applied
in any context. Belief is often more explainable than
faith; it makes more sense to ask "why do you believe
that" than to ask "why do you have faith in that".

Blessings. Blind faith is a credulousness, disposition to believe , it's when you know that you know some thing no matter what other tells you and this is not an emotion, but an over trustfulness acceptation and a wishful thinking While faith is, in fact, something that you and I exercise every day in our lives. And we've exercised it from the very moment we were born. I suppose it's true that your mother even encouraged you to feel that we could trust her when we lay in her arms. And we learned day by day that was true, she would not drop us, that she was reliable, and we could put our faith in her arms, Have you ever considered what faith is? Or what process we go through to believe in something or someone? Are you aware of faith or belief in your everyday life? Think a moment about the next breath you take. Are you sure there isn't anything in the air you take into your lungs which might damage your health? Surely, if you look around your environment, you can't always see or smell any gas or fumes that might harm you. Only if a new smell was found, would you perhaps be a little worried. Would you ever consider this to be "a leap of faith"? Believe is when you know that jesus has put faith in your heart that you may know Him and believe that he is the Son of God . Gods knows every thing and he knew from the very beginning whom were going to believe and whom weren't. Faith is trusting accepting and believing God for who he say he is While surrender is giving up every thing to God so he can have his way on our life , is when you accept this will for your life which is his purpose for us. Surrendering to the Lord is like breaking down back to the feet of the cross telling the Lord that you cannot make it on your own we need his Holy spirit to guide, teach and to protect us, it's to many temptation all around us and if we do not stand and believe God we would go ashtray this is what our enemy wants , it's up to us to choice life or death, as for me and my household i will praise the Lord and choice life and light. Very uplifted, and an eye opener, question. Peace to all.

A belief is usually based on a group of knowns. While faith does not necessarily reguire knowns in fact faith can be expessed in unknowns. T4

yes, one depends on the other. We have to first situate the word 'belief'.If it stands then we have the option of faith or unfaith. Now,whenever we think of faith or unfaith we get a subject which we born in our mind and that may have existance or not.The qualities of the 'belief' we find in 'faith'.
As:
He belief that there is god.He may have faith in Him or may not.
Again.
He don't have faith in god.That means he agrees the existance of 'god' and he thinks there is no activity of 'god'.
So it is,
He belief honesty is the best policy.He has faith in honesty.
And'
He has faith in 'honesty is the best policy'. It means he agrees to 'honesty' and he likes the qualities of 'honesty'.

BELIEF is trust,confidence and acceptance of a thing as true or existing.
FAITH is unquestioning confidence and a strong belief in religious doctrines .
You can decide if they are similar or not.

They are synonomous.
Belief is just a word that people don't immediately associate with religion, and is therefore a word that people who disassociate themselves with religion like to use.

If you believe, you have faith. If you have faith, you believe.
Mutually dependent. Synonymous.

It's like pencil and lead; pen and ink; peanut butter and jelly. My dear they go hand in hand.

'Belief' is to do with the 'mind'
Faith is to do with the 'heart'
