What is your definition of faithful?
What is your definition of loyal?

I have never really taken to any traditional religion. My parents are/were both Roman Catholic, so I went to church as a child.
As I grew up, I realized that I did not 100% align with the church, and I know that I never would. There are just things that I don't agree with.
I have never really researched any other religions as possibilities. I don't think I ever will. I know what I think, I know what I believe. I can't explain it, and I understand that my "faith" is unique to me. I don't need a church or any group to guide me, because I know that I will never fully be certain what is right. To me, almost every religion has merit, and might just be on the right track. As I grow and change, so does what I believe. Events, other people, and life make me adjust my beliefs every day. No religion could cater to the small changes, let alone the big ones.
I think I can only be loyal so long as the belief works in my life. That might sound a little wishy washy, but it really isn't. I know I don't get anything right the first time... so with something like this, I (as well as everyone else) am bound to get it wrong many times. I think that's OK, because in the end at least I know whatever I believe is true to me and for me. I wont hold on to a belief purely for loyalty. When something no longer seems right, you SHOULD change it.

Yes I am very loyal and faithful to Islam.
Faithful to me means to realize that everything on this Earth and that happens to you is because of ALLAH(SWT) and is ALLAH's(SWT) plan for you and you can't do anything to change it.
Loyal to me means being loyal to my Lord and brothers and sisters in Islam and being true to my religion.
I'm what some might call a Fundamentalist. I try to follow the Qur'an to the letter.

Yes to both.
Faithful is having faith in it no matter what.
Loyal is being truthful to your choice of religion even if you donot stay with a certain denomination (but you stay with that religion) ex:I went back to the church of christ after leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses a week ago, I'm still faithful & loyal to God & the bible, just changed direction.

Yes I am completely faithful to my lack of belief in anything I cannot prove.
Faithful means not wavering from your belief. Since my belief is based on EVIDENCE, then my faith is somewhat different to religious faith, which is based on a fairy tale.
Loyal means faithful to a devotion, person or cause.

I am undyingly faithful to what I believe at this very minute. My beliefs are in a constant state of change, however.

I believe, but I am not 100% faithful. If I was, I'd be God.

I am to myself unless I believe and value myself, how could I be a role model for anyone else ?
