    I recently debated at the Cambridge union. The question was "has this house lost faith is faith?", interesting many felt their was a difference between faith and religion, so I wondered what everyone else was thinking.

    hello  sadia.,welcome  to   CEMBDEN .,  don't you have any link of a  video of that debate online ?    many of those Cambridge union debates  are online...

    Anyways  on  your question  

    Is faith and religion the same thing?  

    ans:  No they are NOT one and the same .,  

    Faith  is an Individual   hypothesis/assumption  explored / explorable by the person  who started it  or  few people around him who   may have/had some faith in some concept  whether it is about presence/absence of god  or any other zillion things  ..

    Again faith  is EXPLOITABLE NOT EXPLOITABLE unlike the religion.    Religion around a faith is entirely different thing., this organized faith/religion could be coordinated  by  a small group (often I call it as cult) or a large group where it become religion. Now when it becomes religion   it starts controlling the society OFTEN STAGNATING IT.   External to the society it is born, the so called    religion becomes a warmongering ideology for converting others into it by   force or by  brain washing the folks or  by both roots.

    Off course we can add many more such statements differentiating the two...

    with best wishes

    Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything   
    I renounced my faith to become a kafir, 
    the beloved betrayed me and turned in to  a Muslim
