Religion is a man-made doctrine that is overseen by a committee of that religion. Many doctrines will agree on key points, while they will also disagree on what is not specifically written or mentioned in the Bible. The keyword here is interpretation.
Faith - well, some of us have more faith that our children will get hurt playing a sport than we do in God. Faith is defined as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1) - the book of Hebrews was written to emphasize the superiority of Jesus Christ over the Levitical Law and the Old Covenant. The text highlights how Jesus fulfills all the principles and prophecies of the Old Testament, providing a new and perfect way to access God the Father without the need for the ceremonial priesthood.
