In the sense that religious people use the word, it means belief in 
something with no actual evidence. 

They've hijacked the word "faith" to mean "religion" - for example "Faith 
schools", meaning "schools in which children are indoctrinated in stuff 
and nonsense". The language evolves, words change their meaning. Gay used 
to mean "happy", then it meant "homosexual", now it means "unpleasant".

I have a dream that one day the word "faith" will be a synonym for 
"gullibility".
