IMO all neurotypical people do have "Faith" in some form, because religion is an important part of human firmware, and necessarily follows from the workings of our brain in any environment where cultures emerge. (As proven by every relevant anthropological study since Durkheim.)
The capitalization also make a difference.
"faith" vs. "Faith" are roughly "belief of unproven things" vs. "system of religious belief"
It might be in a dictionary somewhere, but there's no widespread consensus on how to use capitalization here.
