Question: Can faith have an effect on things that are not religious?
Answer: Oh yes, faith can be used in every direction, just like light. By light you can study religion and fare forth to heavens and do anything. No one in the world has been able to accomplish a great thing without the power of faith, whether he was a general, a business-man, an inventor, or a religious man. The power that faith gives is beyond words. The weakness and the poverty that exist in the absence of faith are most deplorable. A person may have everything in life, youth, wealth, comfort, position and power - if faith lacks he is poverty-stricken.
