Action Without Faith

You can have faith without faith in order to do an action.  In recovery programs a person walks into the room, for the first time, and has no faith in a God, but has faith that the action suggested, the steps, will help them to stay sober.  Desperation can create faith without faith.  You can walk into a religious oriented building with no faith in that religion, but you have faith that a bit of peace and quiet might help you.  Or you have faith that a group of people at prayer, or practicing that religion, might be a safe and uplifting experience for you.  Watching and listening often precede faith in action.  You may become convinced that your self-will way is not working.  So watch and listen.  Faith not required.
