Faith is the assured expectation of things yet to come, based on evidence. For instance, one might have faith in a weather report of a blizzard or hurricane coming, or a sunny day. One might have faith that, if one hits the light switch, they are going to get light. One might have faith that if they drop something, it will hit the floor instead of the ceiling or staying suspended. This kind of faith, based on past history and present trends, is useful. Without it, one would always have to learn everything anew.
However, the kind of "faith" that religions try to build is the faith that is always abused. Scam artists also abuse faith, trying to get you to trust them and then pulling a fast one on you. Religious faith is not based on past history or sound science--and often contradicts sound science and actual past history. Faith "healing" is one example--as is the very destructive faith that one is going to heaven or to be resurrected on earth if they obey a list of rules (designed to diminish enjoyment of life and to get the person to waste their money on religion).
I personally feel that the most destructive faith is that we were all born wicked and sinful, that a savior is needed to buy us back from this sin, and that we need to add to this sacrifice (whether or not it is explicitly stated). The Christian religions expressly state that Jesus' sacrifice is sufficient, and then require their members to add to it with their time and money. Islam teaches that people need to directly sacrifice. And other religions all drive people to sacrifice. All is backed up with the scam of what happens after you die if you are "good" and if you are "bad" This kind of "faith" prevents one from looking at anything objectively, causes guilt for things that are not inherently immoral, and wastes resources.
