are not the same. Materialist positivism as faith in the current scientific paradigm has equal function of giving sense of security as other faiths, ie. unquestioned dogmas.
Buddhism, Gnosticism, Taoism etc. are usually counted as religions, yet they have little to do with faith, on the opposite, their soteriology is to free oneself from all beliefs and other dualistic delusions.
