In some contexts, these terms are used interchangeably but they do have unique definitions, and are not always synonymous.
Belief refers to an acceptance that a statement is true, or that something exists. In the context of religion, it may imply a religious conviction. However, someone may believe in a deity without having faith in that deity.
Faith is generally a stronger term than mere belief, as it implies, not only belief but also trust and obedience. In the context of Christianity, Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the certainty of things hoped for, and proof of things not seen. Other New Testament references state that faith is the means of salvation.
Although it can be used in other ways, religion usually refers to a particular system of faith and worship, such as the Christian religion or the religion of Judaism, which are expressed through various doctrines or myths.
