Induction is thinking that if the sun has risen every day for the last billion years, it will probably rise tomorrow.
Faith is believing that even though the sun has risen every day for the last billion years, it won't rise tomorrow.
Trying to call induction a "religion" to excuse religion isn't going to help you much; all it does is admit the two are comparable, and then simple observation shows that induction is the correct "religion" and faith proves false. Shall we see whether prayer heals this time?
