"Emotion" probably isn't the best word. I cross-posted this comment on my Facebook account, where one person commented that

I agree, faith is not an emotion, just as love isn't. They are landscapes of experience which can be ornamented by a wide variety of emotions.

I'm not sure I agree with that entirely either, but it seems to be more in the right direction than just calling it an emotion is.
