While belief, faith, religion, and spirituality are often used interchangeably, they are individual words with unique definitions. Belief might refer simply to a belief in God, while faith suggests something stronger, such as trust or devotion to God. When a group of believers come together holding beliefs in common, they may form a religion; although, in most cases today, they will join a religion that corresponds to their understandings and beliefs. In the context of Christianity, spirituality usually involves the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.
