...a Muslim's faith is a bit different and seems more extreme than a reformed Jewish faith, or a practicing Catholic's faith.

As with so many things, extremism in faith is dangerous. Everything in moderation.

Faith in Providence over seeking medical attention could get you killed.

My faith is in humanity. Most of it, anyway.
