Take Your Stand for True Worship
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES
Neither images nor ancestor worship have any place in true worship.—Exodus 20:4, 5; Deuteronomy 18:10-12.
It is wrong to take part in celebrations that have pagan origins.—Ephesians 5:10.
True Christians should be tactful when they explain their beliefs to others.—Colossians 4:6.
Faith
Definition: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Heb. 11:1) True faith is not credulity, that is, a readiness to believe something without sound evidence or just because a person wants it to be so. Genuine faith requires basic or fundamental knowledge, acquaintance with evidence, as well as heartfelt appreciation of what that evidence indicates. Thus, although it is impossible to have real faith without accurate knowledge, the Bible says that it is “with the heart” that one exercises faith.—Rom. 10:10.

All people act in faith as a faith is a belief (true or lie) in action
Religion is the regulation of man's actions towards God, set by God, not man.

A religion is a man made construct consisting of a specific set of base beliefs. It is an attempt to understand the supernatural.
Faith is a strong belief in something (usually refering so something supernatural), usually backed by strong evidence but not always. If it is not backed by strong evidence then it's called "blind faith."

Anyone who sets himself up as “religious” by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world. On the other hand, Faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

Religion is a distinct set of pretenses.
Faith is just believing something without, or contrary to real evidence.
Faith is not the position of the brilliant among us.
Knowledge is what we need, not faith.
