I knew a stripper named Faith. But she talked all the time.

Nothing is actually the lack or absence of something, rather than of anything. Achieving 'nothing' as a state of mind in this tradition allows someone to be totally 'focused' on a thought or activity at a level of intensity they would not be able to achieve if they were 'consciously' thinking.

Faith is being certain or what you hope for and sure of what you do not see. Believing impulsively, or believing based upon social traditions or personal hopes.

So in a way your faith is believing in nothing, and also faith is an activity.

So there you go you have your answer.

Well, what does the Bible say? Faith is the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen . Hebrews 11:1.

It is the opposite actually..faith speaks and calls those things that "Be Not" as though they were.
Faith is bold and Faith has a voice.

To many, “faith” simply means having a religious belief or following a form of worship. As used in the Bible, however, “faith” basically means total trust—complete, unshakable confidence in God and his promises. It is a quality that marks a disciple of Jesus Christ.

On one occasion, Jesus Christ spoke about the need to pray and “not to give up.” In so doing, he raised a question about whether true faith would exist at all in our day. He asked: “When the Son of man arrives, will he really find this faith on the earth?” Why did he raise such a question?—Luke 18:1, 8,You Can Build True Faith

You too can build true faith—the kind of faith described by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Hebrew Christians. Such faith, he said, is “the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Hebrews 11:1) Having such faith, you will be absolutely sure that all your hopes and expectations, including God’s promise of a resurrection, will be realized. You will be convinced that such hopes are based on sure guarantees, not on wishful thinking. You will know that Jehovah has never failed to keep his promises. (Joshua 21:45; 23:14; Isaiah 55:10, 11; Hebrews 6:18) God’s promised new world will be as real to you as if it were already here. (2 Peter 3:13) And you will see clearly with eyes of faith that Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and God’s Kingdom are all realities, not delusions.

You are not left on your own to build true faith. Besides making his Word freely available, Jehovah has also provided a worldwide Christian congregation that is devoted to helping righthearted people build faith in God. (John 17:20; Romans 10:14, 15) Accept all the help that Jehovah provides through that organization. (Acts 8:30, 31) And since faith is a fruit of God’s holy spirit, pray constantly for that spirit to help you to develop true faith.—Galatians 5:22.

Do not be put off by skeptics who scoff at anyone who professes faith in God and his Word. (1 Corinthians 1:18-21; 2 Peter 3:3, 4) In fact, true faith is of immense value in strengthening your stand against such attacks. (Ephesians 6:16) Sarah Jayne found that to be true, and she always encouraged those who visited her in the hospital to build up their own faith. “Make the truth your own,” she would say. “Study God’s Word. Stay close to God’s organization. Pray constantly. Stay active in Jehovah’s service.”—James 2:17, 26.

Seeing her faith in God and in the resurrection, one of her nurses said: “You really do believe this, don’t you?” When asked what gave her such an optimistic outlook despite her trials, she replied: “It is having faith in Jehovah. He is a real friend to me, and I dearly love him.”
